Suck It Up

Suck It Up

Suck it up, don't be a baby

There's nothing to it, don't be crazy

Don't be a whimp, you aren't weak

Be strong like me, I'm at my peak

Suck it up, don't you whine

Stand up to it, you've got a spine

Don't walk away, you better not cry

It's no big deal, you aren't going to die

Suck it up, go with the grind

Don't be daft, don't be blind

You know you can handle it okay

Like a breeze, just another day

Suck it up, you spineless jerk

If you were smart, you'd make it work

But I guess, you don't have a clue

To be as strong, because you are you

Suck it up, and suck it in

Don't be a loser, when you can win

Suck it in, and take it all

If you don't, then you will fall

I wrote this poem from the position

of someone who is telling another to be strong. In my opinion a rude

way of saying it, because how can we truly know what another is going

through. And I'm sure the person who is telling the other person to “Suck It Up”

has never been in the same situation of the other person. To understand one must be

the person who is going through it. So how can one say “Suck It Up?” No brains, no

heart. No consideration. The point I am making here is, most times we never know

what the other person is going through. I'm sure the person who said these things

would never be able to “Suck It Up” if they were in that position.
