standing alone

I am not here to judge
anymore than I have been
many a times, I could've drowned
among the dreams of the living dead
but I chose to stand up
one more time
so I know I can withstand
more sorrows, more pain
more slashes that bleed my wounds
in many a thousand pieces
if only to know
even death can't stop me
from knowing
that...yes...
I am still strong

and yet
standing all alone.

Your never alone. God is always with you - he has helped me through the past 8 years or more through my Mom's illness, death and life after. However, life's difficulties do make us stronger - we have no choice. Take care Lindsy!
