Like a toy soldier.
I stand tall.
I walk with the rest of the soldiers.
They fall.
I stand tall.
They take these bullets like a medicine.
I stand tall as pieces of deathly metal fly around me.
Daring a bullet to touch me.
I stand tall.
Like a toy soldier.
I will not fall.
These bullets will not phase me.
I will not fall.
