I’m Still Standing

Eileen Clark

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

      Thank you Thomas, it took me a long time to actually write these words down on paper though they were in my heart for many years.
