Here I am.
After each setback.
Nonetheless, I rise and smile.
I stand still.
~~~
Here I am.
Behind the suffering.
Behind distress.
Above everything.
~~~
Still, I shine.
Upon gloomy shadows.
After sadness and sorrow.
I still heal from every pain.
~~~
Like the tidal tides,
I'm unstoppable.
I grow in the same manner that trees do.
Like fresh roses, I bloom.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
