Here I Stand

March 2, 2014

Here I stand.

Hit by 17 years worth of pain.

Here I stand.

Struggling with the most elementary problems.

Here I stand.

Against the ridicule of society.

Here I stand.

With heartbreak from the only man who is suppose to matter.

Here I stand.

Questioning to be or not to be.

Here I stand.

With monsters in the closet.

And yet,

I stand.
