Still Standing
Derek Ng Waking up every morning is exhausting We never know how much it’s costing How much life exhausts our lives Stabbing us with its sharp knives Abusing, confusing, bruising, losing How many decisions do we end up choosing? One—because that’s how we play its game Those who can’t decide often die in vain Life throws its crap towards you, yeah it’s difficult But you shouldn’t sit around to mope or sulk Life will crash, crack, clunk, clang, clatter Take a moment to remind yourself: it only gets better Breathe in—don’t be discouraged after every fall Just be careful next time, that’s all Life won’t stop to let you reset But you have mysterious power, that’s the secret Never forget your inner, strong will As long as you never stand still Your mind is always expanding As long as you’re still standing And finally--exhale |
