Still Standing

July 10, 2018

Time is passing slowly

And I wonder how deep you're drowning

I've just come to the surface gasping

The most I may do is nod to you in passing

I literally almost gave you our lives

I literally believed all your lies

I will rise higher than the shots you fire

Keep me inspired

The men I'll raise will acquire what you lack

Don't worry, I will pick up all your slack

I refuse to fall down with your demons

I made it through, I'm still breathing

You really almost broke me

This was never about loyalty

& I think you even knew that yourself

But you were too lonely in hell

I'm still not sure who this will turn me into

But whoever I'll be, I suppose I'll say thank you

How does it feel to see me still standing

Are you still keeping score, who is winning?
