Still Standing

By Mohammad Rizwan

When you feel like sleeping all day

From the anxiety that cripples you

When you feel all love’s lost in your life

From the lingering feeling of dread

In your head that stays in your heart

There’s anger inside you

Where you forget to love yourself

When you feel each day is the end of the world

Where you’re stuck forever in a loop of anxiety

When you feel that the whole world is against you

Keeping you inside your comfort zone

Just take a deep breath and see

The world bending its knee

Before your fiery eyes and will

Just keep your head and heart still

From the waves that come to sway you

Don’t move a hint from the storm too

Because at the end of the day

You will be the one still standing

Against all the things that brings you down

And becomes the one crippling the fear that once crippled you

You will be the one still standing
