[Style: Minimal pop / introspective rap Warm chords, soft drums, subtle build Feels like early morning light through blinds] [Theme: Survival as success Progress that doesn’t look impressive Realizing staying is strength] [Intro] Yeah I’m still here [Verse 1] Woke up tired but I woke up That alone feels like a win Same mirror, same face But I’m not who I was then Didn’t fix it overnight Didn’t figure out my place But I made it through the dark And I’m still breathing in this space Bills due, plans shaky Motivation comes and goes Some days I feel solid Some days I’m just getting home I used to think progress Had to look like something big Now I know just staying upright Is a strength I never lived [Pre-Chorus] I didn’t conquer my demons Didn’t silence every doubt But they didn’t take me under And that’s something I’ll allow [Chorus] I’m still standing Even when I bend Still standing With the weight I carry in No fireworks, no headline No “I made it” moment yet But I’m still standing And I haven’t quit [Verse 2] I still question where I’m going Still feel behind sometimes Scrolling through other lives Wondering if I missed mine But comparison don’t get me Like it used to in my chest I’m learning how to measure life By peace instead of stress I don’t need to prove my worth To a clock or anyone I’m not lazy, I’m healing That’s a race that’s never run If today all I could do Was just make it to the end Then today did what it had to And tomorrow can begin [Chorus] I’m still standing Even when I shake Still standing After all the hits I take I don’t have the answers But I’m learning how to rest I’m still standing That’s enough success [Bridge] Maybe strength is staying soft In a world that hardens hearts Maybe faith is showing up Even when it’s falling apart I don’t need a perfect reason To believe I’ll be okay I’m alive, I’m here, I’m trying That’s a win I’ll claim [Chorus – Final] I’m still standing No disguise Still standing Looking fear right in the eyes You can call it small momentum You can call it barely hanging on I call it proof I didn’t lose I’m still standing I’m still strong [Outro] Still here That counts

Still Standing
