Here I Stand

Here I stand
Atop this mountain
Pain trying its best to keep a hold 
Refusing to let it
I smile, forcibly
Still, its what's needed
Here I stand
Courageous in my fight
Victorious in my battle
No longer ashamed nor afraid
I have survived
Here I stand
Amongst previous sandstorms
Hailed against my soul
Full throttle
Stopping short of your head on collision
For my vision's much clearer
And my heart is at peace
So here I stand, 
Beautifully Free...
