Not Today

Always smiling and nodding
Never will choose a side
Well not today
As friends battle friends
Calling the other names
I stand up
I rise above
I become the strongest player on the field with one word
No
With the force of one thousand storms
I stare into the eyes of my opponent
Not backing down
I continue to rise
Until only everyone can look only at me as I become someone else
Someone who will stand up for right
And make wrong stand down
Because when kindness is all they see
Firmness can go a long way
