What do you Stand for?

What do you Stand for?

A Poem by Paige

Who are you,
On days like this, when you can't get out of bed?
What do you stand for,
When you can't stand at all?
There's gotta be a reason,
A light In the dark.
Something, or someone,
To help you breathe.
But you're letting the darkness engulf you,
And you're drowning, and you're reaching for help.
But the only people grabbing your hand are the ones who toss you back into the darkness when they're done with you.
Who are you, when you can't stand?
What do you stand for, when your legs tremble?
Does the air you breathe, make you want to die?
It's hard to believe in something,
When the whole world has shown you it's fake.
So you lie there, and you rest your legs, and you try to do it, you try to stand.
But your legs buckle, and your will is gone.
So you wait for someone or something to come pick you up and help.you stand.
But they all just keep pushing you back down.
Where is the magic? Where is the wonder that you learned about when you were a kid?
Expecting love and warmth,
And instead getting a cold smack in the face, from a hand that had once shown you love..
Who are you?
What do you stand for?
Stand for it right now,
Before your legs buckle, and you can't stand at all.
