"I'm Still Here"

Did you ever think this could happen?

That after it all, after all that's taken place

You would still be fighting, hanging on

Despite the hurdles and challenges

Perhaps in spite of the trauma?

It may feel as if you're drowning at times

Like nothing you do matters or counts

I know you feel insignificant and unimportant

Believing the world would spin unaffected

If you were to not be on it anymore

But you matter, you exist, no one can take that

You found yourself, and you're alive again!

If nothing else on this little marble in space

I'm proud of you for staying, for fighting

Every day you get up and face the world

A victory you should be proud about!

You, I ... I am proud of everything I've done

Proud of finding a reason to keep fighting

Because despite everything I have faced ...

I'm. Still. Here.
