The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Still Standing

People tried to wreck me
But here I still stand, standing strong
Evil lurks in the shadows
But my flowers still blossom, blossoming strong
My soil used to be soft
But it's hardened, with years of pain to strengthen it
My moon used to shine
But  my inner wolf howled, howled it into the night
For it sure can put up a fight
Yellow I hold on to
Trying to over come the black
Red fills me
Covering all the blue that tries to stack
My green of envy
Lost amongst the orange of haze
My soul is feeling a blazed
And I never seem to be amazed
I seek the good in the bad
I forgive when I cannot forgive inside
I love when I feel unloved
I smile when I feel drowned
I seek what I cannot find
Faith is what I bind
And my sun will forever over shine!!
