[STYCK]

Wasn't there...but a FRIEND was..

We have no clue who said/wrote this:

I stood up, I showed up, I stepped forward.

I raised my right hand, I stood in the gap, I walked in the fire.

I did not run, I did not hide, I did not dodge, I did not evade.'

Consequently...

I have nothing to prove, no one to convince, those who matter, already know.

Those who don't, never will.
