I'M Going To Stand Up Tall Poem by Hopeless Heart

I can’t explain how I feel inside
It’s just too complicated for my mind
I know I’m not the only one
Who feels like they can never have fun
Who can never roam free
All I want to be is me

My life passes me by
As I sit and cry
I don’t want to tell anyone
All I want to do is run
Far away from it all
Just hoping I don’t fall

But I did stop my running
And told you everything mummy
You wiped away my tears
And scared away my fears
That night I slept tight
Knowing I’d be alright

Do you not remember that night?
It started with a fight
And ended with a joke
About all those regular folk
We did not talk about it after that
And I became another useless fact

But this time I’m not going to run
And I’m not going to pretend I’m having fun
I’m going to stand up tall
And tell you all
That inside I’m broken
And there are many hurts of which I have never spoken.
