Still Standing



I'm so sad right now
I slowly walked to bed and bow
Crying bitterly making vows
promising myself not to go so Low
so low to be taken advantage of. No

It really hurts deep down
But its not enough to make me frown
Even when I'm about to drown
I still do find a way to smile
Like a king staring at his crown

sometimes I feel karma is after me
or Just the whole world against me
and Just couldn't help it
But feel it
And bare with it
Till all the heat becomes Fit (adaptive)
