I Can Stand by Myself
I've called many times for someone but no one comes when I'm calling.
I've been in so much pain the times I fell down.
If you looked at my face, there were tears to be found.
I've been stepped on, rolled over and each time I cried for a hand.
People looked at me like I was a fool...they wouldn't help me stand.
I didn't even stand up, I just lied there on the ground.
I thought, "What's the point of standing up just to fall back down?"
Slowly, however, I began to realize things as I lied there all alone.
There are times when you have to stand on your own.
Life will beat you up, life will hurt you.
Don't let life stop you from doing the best you can do.
At last someone came and offered their hand to me.
I smiled at them and said, "I can stand. Just watch and see!
So pull back your hand because I don't need your help or anyone else.
I'm the kind of person who can stand by myself!"
For that reason, I STOOD.

I haven't written anything in a long time and that fact bothers me. I have to get back into my zone!
