True To Yourself
by
Jonathan Isenor
You stand in a crowd of people
Who are passing a joint around
They keep telling you to try it
You continue to refuse
Until it's in your hand
You think about how tempting it is
You stare down at it
Still you hold true to yourself
You pass it on without taking a drag
People make fun of you
For not trying
You don't care
Instead you go home and lay awake in bed
Staring at the ceiling
Thinking about what happened
Thinking about how they were yelling and making fun of you
You roll over still thinking about everything
A smile spreads across your face as you realize under pressure you still managed
to be true to yourself.
