I'M Still Standing

A blow of pain I have been strucked, When she left me To face the world alone. Your well-played bluffs Throwing me to the ground Eeeeeww Painting me with mud. And when slaps of failure Made me bow, With shame and disappointment I buried my head deep. Standing on the edge Of the rock face, My hands were left cold, When you turned your back on my call. Did you think I will crash? Fall and never rise? You mocked me with pity Thinking I have given out. See now, as I have risen, Dusting my behind. With my heads raised high, I say, I'm still standing.
