Still Standing

It's been through fire and ice
Thrown around, torn apart
So why is she still standing
Still not afraid to give her heart

Heartache to heartache
She adds on to the list
She gives her all to them
Somehow she's still dismissed
This girl is not a child
She's not into games
She wears her heart on her sleeve
From there, the players make their claims.

They use her, abuse her
Treat her worse than dirt
This girl has a heart
Of course she's gonna hurt

But she's no quitter
Ms. Persistent herself
A quick stitching of the heart
Til reopened by someone else

You won't keep this believer
From living her life
No matter the struggles
No matter the strife

She knows there's something out there
Beyond reality of any kind
It's there, simply waiting
Waiting for her to find.
