“Still Standing, Barely Breathing”

Broken body, battered back,
Heartache heavy, hope turned black.
Fallen far from faith and flame,
Lost in loneliness, drowning in shame.

Mama’s fading, cancer’s cold,
Empty pockets, dreams on hold.
No more home and no more hand,
Left to learn how to live again.


Still standing, barely breathing,
Fighting through the fear and bleeding.
Soul screaming, spirit shaking,
But I’m here — yeah, I’m still waking.
Lost it all but not defeated,
Broken down but undefeated.


Silent nights and savage sorrow,
Chasing strength I’ll need tomorrow.
Phone won’t ring, friends grow few,
Faith feels distant, nothing’s new.

Pain’s a prison, doubt’s a chain,
Grief’s a ghost that speaks my name.
But through the fire, through the fray,
I’m still here — I’ll find my way.


Still standing, barely breathing,
Fighting through the fear and bleeding.
Soul screaming, spirit shaking,
But I’m here — yeah, I’m still waking.
Lost it all but not defeated,
Broken down but undefeated.


Even when I want to fall,
Even when I’ve lost it all,
There’s a whisper in the pain:
“Stand back up and fight again.”



Still standing, barely breathing,
Fighting through the fear and bleeding.
Soul screaming, spirit shaking,
But I’m here — yeah, I’m still waking.
Lost it all but not defeated,
Broken down but undefeated.

Still standing… still breathing… still here.
