I stand…

Crawling out of a fog with scars,

Full of confusion, disorientation, and exhaustion.

The trauma my body endured.

The terror my mind withstood

And the destruction that has ripped through my heart leaving me breathless.

The thoughts have been endless

The weeping and anguish for someone who is still living unimaginable 

Yet here I am 

I stand 

Unstable…

Still shaking from the impact

I stand 

unsure…

Asking why…I stand 

because I have to

I stand

 to survive

I stand

 to begin to heal

I stand 

to move forward 

I stand 

to receive help

I  stand

So Should you…

No matter the circumstances…stand

Someone needs you…

Simpy Stand.
