standing tall

let me tell you cats, all you nay sayers and acrobats. I will not faulter. I will not fall. I may be knocked to my knees but I will not sway and beg. I will again stand tall and show that I am more than just a Man. I stand in pride. I stand in fear; not of my own but of those I protect. beat me. rape me. strike me down. I will continue to stand tall and protect those who cannot protect themselves. You will not win, and we will stand tall.
