Still, I’d rise.

Hiding  tears that falls like rains

Hiding hurts, hiding pains

Saying I\'m fine when I\'m not

Rips my being apart at my gut.

My skin is on fire, but burns from within

Yet, the calm on my face shows a well being

That one knew not it eats away years

Left I alone to be strangled by unending fears

Waiting for someone to see I wear a mask.

 

 

Still ,I’d rise

Over trials and tribulations that life throws my way,

Even when the ground is shaky and winds make me sway,

I shall stand firm through night and day

Still, I’d rise.

 

Still, I’d rise

Over temptations that shall come and try my endurance,

Over inflictions that will happen to dare my perseverance,

I shall hold on and surface victorious

Still, I’d rise.

 

Still, I’d rise

Over sadness and disappointment that comes ,

Over memories that haunts with a NO,

I shall press on, with a resolute resolve I pledge

Still, I’d rise.
