I stand atop a great mountain,
Standing with my head held high
As I embrace myself
With a smile on my face

For a while I felt alone
Nobody who understood,
But now I know
That there are more of us

Those who understand,
About the dark times
When we feel we've lost everything,
And no one knows but us

But then I met a man
Who taught me about life
Who taught me how to express myself
And he is now my greatest friend

Then I met more
Who write with a passion
And a heart,
With their words

On this mountain we stand together,
United as one
But hold hands together,
Boldly staring those who don't believe us

We stand to fight
And we will not lose,
For we know there is a way to inform others
And that is with our poetry

You have always been there for me
You've kept me going,
When nothing else could

When it rains
You're my umbrella,
When it's windy
You're my rock

When I feel down
You bring me back up
When I've lost everything,
You've returned it

I owe it all to you
You've kept me going
Even when I thought I couldn't

And now my life is in shambles
My world is falling apart
I've lost all hope
Of ever finding true love

You are my friend
You are my family
And I wanted you to know
You mean the world to me
