Mean

Stand up, and be proud.
Don't let anybody put you down.

They may seem big, they may be mean,
But in the end that's all they're gonna be.

Don't let them tear you apart,
Don't take their lies to heart.

You know what they say isn't true,
Be strong and show them the real you.

You're so much better than all of them,
They're the ones with the problem.

Let your inner beauty shine,
Things will get better over time.

Words can hurt more than sticks and stones,
A heart can break just the same as bones.

Next time you're hit or teased.
Remember Him, and just believe.

The opposite of faith is fear,
Stick with God, he's always near.

This poem was inspired by the song Mean-Taylor Swift

    Dear Shelley,

    If anyone is being mean to you, remember that one day soon, when you'll choose the people that get to stay in your life, they will most likely miss out on that opportunity. It's really their loss. MARK MY WORDS. Stay as cool as you are!

  6. I have to remember this whenever people put me down. It did remind me a lot of Mean by Taylor Swift.
