Stand Up For Yourself
Lyrics:
Your kindness is a strength
But it’s not for everyone to use
This is your reminder
You show up for everyone
But who shows up for you?
You work hard, you give your best
You always follow through
But some people take advantage
Like your effort’s theirs to claim
You’re not here to carry everyone
Or play somebody’s game
You are not a doormat
You are not their extra hand
You deserve respect and honesty
You deserve to take a stand
Stand up for yourself
Don’t let them cross that line
Don’t let them take advantage
Of your effort or your time
Stand up for yourself
Your worth is something they should see
You’re allowed to keep your peace
Stand up, stand up, stand up for yourself
You can care without being used
You can help without being drained
Being kind does not mean bending
Till your spirit feels in pain
So say “no” without apology
Protect your space and energy
Your life is yours to lead
You choose who gets to be close to you
You are not a doormat
You are not their extra hand
You deserve respect and honesty
You deserve to take a stand
Stand up for yourself
Don’t let them cross that line
Don’t let them take advantage
Of your effort or your time
Stand up for yourself
Your worth is something they should see
You’re allowed to keep your peace
Stand up, stand up, stand up for yourself
You don’t have to explain your “no”
You don’t have to justify your glow
Your boundaries are not up for debate
Protect your heart before it breaks
Stand up for yourself
Don’t let them dim your flame
You’re allowed to walk away
You’re allowed to change the game
Stand up for yourself
Your heart deserves to breathe
You’re stronger than they’ll ever see
Stand up, stand up, stand up for yourself
Stand tall, stay true
Your life belongs to you
Stand up for yourself
