It doesn\'t matter how many tears in life you cry
If no ones their to listen, does it really matter why
So many years you have wept throughout the night
You wake up to a shining sun, yet you don\'t see the light
I am still standing
No one was their for you, to teach you how to win
To tell you when you fail, get back out their and do it again
When you hear the whispers behind your back, don\'t give in
Block out the cruel remarks, she\'s slow, plain looking, so thin
I am still standing
I\'m reading more, teaching myself, letting go of old fears
Removing all the negativity that clung to me for years
I\'m learning how to let go, to just take it on the chin
I had better because it comes from within, yes my very own kin
I am absolutely still standing
