We Stand, Free and Together

We Stand, Free and Together

By Deanna GilstrapPublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

I live in a land that I once thought was free. So I will never bend at the neck, or buckle at the knees. I live on a land, once decorated with bloodshed. I look deep in my conscious, looking for the words my ancestors once said. Fight for what you need and want. Anything among the horizon can be caught.

Your dreams will never dissipate, as you are the creator. Your own God. Never settle for a no, only a nod. A can-do-conscious. Those might have a mind that sits thoughtless. I stand high, with an intricate and articulate mind.

I conquer fear, the unknown. So I sit on my thrown, like everyone beside me, we are all queens and kings. Ready to stand by each other by any means.
