And Here I Stand

By Thorn

Here I stand
As the world crumbles
And crashes down around me
I will not be moved.

A friend's funeral
Suicide by hanging
And here I still stand
And I will not be moved.

A love falters
Young hearts shattering like glass
And yet here I stand
And I will not be moved.

A marriage tears apart
A child breaks down in tears
But here I still stand
And I will not be moved.

A hundred broken lives
A thousand shattered dreams
I stand against it all
And I will not be moved.

The world crumbles
Collapsing all around me
But I will never allow
Myself to crumble with it.

Here I Stand

And I will NOT be moved.

Y'know, I just lost a friend...and I have to say I've been uprooted and moved and damnit I've been buried as well. This...makes me want to find where and who I was, keep my ass rooted there, and let the world leave me be. I love it.
