Standing here
I feel no fear
Head held high
A spark in my eye
The darkness comes
Choking my lungs
Eyes grow dimmer
The sun looses its glimmer
The ground crumbles away
And yet, here I stay
Standing so tall
During the fall
Of the world and the people
As the sky crushes the steeple
The moon and the sun
Go and have fun
The sky falls down
Onto the town
And the children flee
But not me.
I stand here, proud
My voice so loud
As I say to the sky
“And now it’s just you and I.
“I struggle to breathe,
and I feel you seethe,
“Because here I stand,
with blood on my hand,
“and I’m stronger than you
for all that you do.”
And then I died
With only my pride.
But that was enough
Because I was tough
