Still, I Go On

My feet hit the cold hard ground, it's distant

I feel the wind blow my hair in the sky

Forces I cannot see are resistant

Still, I go on, I refuse to not try

The beasts fight harder though throwing me down

My head is no longer dazed in the clouds.

No, instead I find myself broken down

Lost in those around me, lost in the crowds.

Beaten, defeated, I have lost my way

Too scared to stand up, I sit and ponder

Fallen, I reach a new form of dismay

What if this isn’t the end? I wonder.

And then I feel the burning flame inside

Knowing nothing can stop me, but my pride.
