Still I Stand Poem by melinda mackey

i'm tryin' to do good.
you kno bring out the best in me.
tryin to have a positive life,
being all that i can be.

but there's always a hater some where,
tryin to figure out how.
how they can break me,
and make others mistake me.

wow.

see i could have told em'
that they can't break me,
shake me, nor' make me.......

but they didn't ask-
me.

so now yall can just watch me.

watch me take my bow.
cause guess what yall.......

still i stand.

in the mist of it all.
