I Will Stand Tall Poem by Ashley

I can be hit
I can be struck
I can be rammed down with a truck

But I will not fall
I will stand tall
It's just who I am
It's part of my program

You can call me names
You can lie to my face

But you will not break my resolve
I will stand tall
It's just who I am
Like a pig is to ham

I can be beat
I can be punched
I can be ground down with a crunch

But I will not break
A fool of you I will make
It's just what I do
And I will not start anew
