Keep Your Head Up...

Keep Your head up...

Don't get fed up, I'm telling you,
it's a set up, people will not let up,

It's up to you to do what you have to do,
Keep keepin on, just stay strong, the bs wont last long,

Stand tall, keep your head held high,
show that you have some pride,

Don't let anyone see you frown,
they will pounce and take you down,

Never let them see they got the best of you,
otherwise, you are doomed,

Your happiness is in your hands,
don't let anyone spoil your plans,

People will kick a man when he's down,
not help him up, and that just sucks,

So, hold your ground and never back down,
let everyone know that you're not a clown,

If you do this, you will win life's long race,
keep you're head up and shove it in their face...

This is so amazing it's rhythm is that of a professional
It's very inspirational and truly meaningful
The structure of the stanzas is nice and makes it clear
Also amen may the glory be to God

Always glory belongs to God! Thanks for checking it out and b-blessed!

Great rich-in-common-sense advice.
Have also found helping someone else take on much bigger problems puts your own difficulties in perspective and quickly takes your mind off yourself.
For the hated, haters practically cease to exist once they're paid no mind.
laudable work, J!

Strong and good words. I liked them all.
"So, hold your ground and never back down,
let everyone know that you're not a clown,"
I agree with the above lines and the purpose of the poem. We can't be defeated by things that want to control us. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
