♡ Still Standing ♡

Life hit hard, no warning sign, Left me shaking, losing time, Three long days, I couldn’t speak, But time knows how to make us breathe. Body sore, belief on fire, Walking back through broken wires, Slow breath in, my pulse came through, Not everything breaks when you choose. I talked to fear, I said your name, You don’t own me, I won’t stay the same, I’m still here, I feel it now, Watch me rise, just watch me now. I’m still standing, even low, Still standing, heart aglow, I won’t stop, I won’t retreat, I fell down hard, got back on my feet. I’m still standing, hear my voice, Still standing, I made the choice, I’m not the pain, I’m what I see, I look at life and say: this is me. Named the fear so it could fade, Spoke to it, no need to run away, “Let me live, let me create,” I whispered soft… it opened gates. I don’t deny the scar I wear, I don’t erase the past right there, But today I move, today I try, If I survived, then so can I. If this fight was meant for me, Let my voice be what you see, If I can rise from where I’ve been, You can too — just breathe again. I’m still standing, even low, Still standing, let it show, I won’t stop, I won’t retreat, I fell down hard, got back on my feet. I’m still standing, feel the sound, Still standing, solid ground, I’m not the pain, I’m what I choose, I face the world — I’ve got nothing to lose. Hands were shaking, faith was thin, But light comes in where cracks begin, This song is proof, this beat is true, If I can rise, then so can you. I’m still standing — turn it up, Still standing — fill my cup, From my knees to open sky, I bend, I break, but I won’t die. I’m still standing, loud and clear, Still standing, I’m still here, I look at life and say it free: I’m still standing — this is me.
