Still

There are many days
when dark clouds fill my sky.
I wake up still.
There are many days
when people seem unusually mean.
I smile still.
There are many days
when things don't go as planned.
I walk on still.
There are many days
when life seems a little harsh.
I believe still.
There are many days
when I may feel a little defeated.
I carry on still.


You can be defeated;
or you can face your troubles,
continue on your path,
put your shoulders back and hold your head up high.


You are here  . . .
Still!
