Stand (Your Ground)
Walking through this life alone
Hanging on to every word
Acting like you just don't care
But inside it hurts
It seemed so innocent, just another voice in the crowd
So why is this one so hard to drown out?
Another day in solitude
But your heart is craving more
You claim to like the peacefulness
But inside, you're not sure
Holding on to principles
Or letting yourself go
Is this really you, or just for show?
You have to keep your head up
Don't get lost into the world
They'll try to bring you down, but you can't let them
Tell you who you are
Show them you won't be broken
You have to stand your ground
Then you can turn your life around
Feeling like a stranger, but everybody knows your name
Sacrificing who you are
To earn your claim to fame
If only it were easier
To simply walk away
But won't it all be worth the price you'll pay?
I know it's easier said than done
But imagine how you'll feel
When your life is finally won
It doesn't matter what they say
You just have to turn
And walk away
Another day of solitude
But your heart is craving more
You're trying hard
To make a change
But you're so far from the door
Feeling almost empty, you can't go on
On your own
But what if you were never all alone?

I wrote this piece for anyone who feels alone. Even if the people in your life try to hurt you or bring you down, just remember there is always someone on your side! :)
