I've been left behind
I've been suppressed
I've been controled
I've been held hostage
I've been attacked
Yet I'm still alive

Though pain and suffering
I have survived
Though I'm not whole
I will stand
No matter the struggle

The hardest part
Is standing alone
When someone once said
They would stand with you
Forever

I have held my head up
Even as my legs shook beneath it
I have stood tall
When it felt as though someone were crushing me

I have been strong so long
I can do so no more
For it isn't those who stand tall with you

It's those who help you up
When you cant stand anymore
Those who hold you up
Those who catch you as you fall
They are the real people
They are those who love you
Truly
Cherish them
Forever
