Will

"Will"

We live in this world 

Where emotions are so taboo
Where the sensitive are deemed weak
Just because we feel

I don't think its weak to feel.
To be open with how I feel takes courage.
To continue to feel even when it hurts,
Takes true valor

We live in this world
Where not fighting back is wrong.
Yet how come when you don't fight back,
The mighty attacker will eventually lose interest and leave

I don't think it's weak to not fight,
To allow shot after shot to be taken, takes strength.
To not raise a hand in defense,
Takes true fortitude

We live in the world
Where if you are being kind for the sake of kindness,
You aren't really genuine and are looking for something.
And are called out by the beasts saying, "you aren't a man".

I don't think I am weak for being kind,
To stand for reason and justice takes heart.
To not turn a blind eye,
Just means I have a soul.
