Standing Tall

A little bit happier note…
I'm still standing tall.
Trying to prove to you and everyone around that I'm not the loser you take me as.
My shoulders and back straight.
Standing tall and proud.
What do you think of me now?
Everyone's insults are trying to cut me down to size.
I'm still standing tall.
Trying to prove myself.
Wait, I have nothing to prove to you, after all you don't know me.
Standing tall.
Standing tall in the dark.
Standing tall in the light.
Standing tall in the rain.
Standing tall in all weather.
Standing tall in line to give my blood.
Standing tall and towering on the battlefields.
Standing tall, what do you think now?
Huh?
Still the loser standing tall?
