Standing Tall
Stand tall, beyond all adversity,
Hardships and grief weight down on your soul,
Lies and betrayal have robbed you of your humanity,
How foolish it appears for these vile creatures to still uphold their dignity.
In your mind, no songs of joy are sung,
The poison of the world seeps slowly into your veins,
Loneliness your ally , nothing but your thoughts keeping you sane
Your garden of flowers , once an epitome of beauty,
now lies in desolation , corrupted and diseased,
Prayer after prayer you yearn for God's divine love,
For your life seems nothing, but an endless curse.
You feel afraid , helpless like no one cares,
People and their shadows pass you by , not caring how you fare,
Fear not , for all you need is courage,
The strength to defeat the monstrosities that plague your mind,
Monstrosities leaving you in an abyss , placing you in a bind,
Remember what i told you , that you are the master of your destiny,
So forge ahead towards the light , and earn your place in history.
