Still Standing

Still Standing

1 min

A hundred scars adorn my soul

Memoirs from days of old.

They keep swelling from inside

Adding up to heart’s ache

Never diminishing in size.


Trust issues welled up eyes,

A heartsick of life’s lies

Are my possessions most priced.

A soul too broken,

A heart of shreds

A spirit tired as fuck,

No sign of even fluke or luck

Angst deep inside simmers.


The Demon guards my gates of hell,

It makes me cower in my shell

No dawn I can see

The demon never hears my plea.


But am still standing,

Am still strong

And I know right from wrong.

The demon can try and lurk along,

I’ll be my own champion.

I’ll brave the storms,

I’ll sail head on

No demon can knock me down.


Darker days I may see

But I’ll barge in that cloud nine of mine,

Be my own ray of sunshine.

And when the demon glares at me,

I'll still be standing on my feet.
