Still Standing

Don’t cry for me
I cry enough for myself every day
And the tears I shed
Burn like acid as they
Stream down my cheeks
But my heart still beats
And my lungs still breathe
And I am still standing

  1. Your poem reminded me of a quote from a “Chappelle Show” skit. BUT, THAT DOES NOT take away from your wonderful words and soulful expression.

    May I re-blog this at a later time?
