Stand

I hope this inspires someone.

Stand....
When there's nothing you can do
Stand..... when your back's against the wall
Stand....
When there's no where else to turn
Stand....
When fake friends say goodbye
Stand........
Look around,
Only the strong will survive...
Are you one of them?
My advice to you...
Is to keep on standing
Because your day will come
Sooner than you think...

I liked this. It had a lot of truth and inspiration to it. Reminds me of a song that I just listened to. It's called walk on the water. It's message is for someone to keep moving on no matter how down they feel or get. That's kind of what yours is saying. To keep going. Great job!!!

I could feel multiple other sayings coming in at the end of each time you stand. The fact that you didn't specify any of them made it much better.
