Not today

If there should be a day that I run away and hide
Should the storms threaten to make me cower in fear
Today is not the day
Today sees me not shedding a tear
For I am strong of heart, like in mind,
Of sharpened character over time
Today you will not see me whimper, cry, beg or whine
Proud I am to stand tall, though all around me crumbles
Steady my heartbeat, my fists, my feet
To the ground I can not, will not stumble
Today I promise you, as long as there is sunlight
I will not back down and run away
I will stand up and FIGHT.
