Still Standing
After all the
Pushing and pulling
Giving and taking
Tears and screams
I’ve wiped my eyes
No longer will you
Control my life
I’ve been through
Much worse than you
And I’m still standing
Loved
I don’t need the spotlight
Or the adoring crowds
I don’t need the validation
Of people who in time may
Become a blip in my past
I don’t need constant
Reassurance that
I am worth their time
What I need is comfort
And love
True love, real love
Unconditional love
The kind of love that fills you with light
The kind of love that makes you
Radiate with joy
The kind that fills you with butterflies and
Makes your heart race
I don’t ask for much
All I desire is to be
Loved for who I am
And who I will become
