Analysis of Still Standing
Tell her mother that she tries she works so hard and often cries
She feels she's never good enough and makes her exterior seem so tough
But the truth is every night
horrible thoughts she has to fight
As she sits alone her eyes start to tear
She fights her mind which she thinks a mental fear
Wonderin' if anyone can hear her cry or even her sighs
But no one's listening not even her friend
It was supposed to always be A+K till the end
And now she's sitting there crying
All broken up inside and no one even cares
Or they would've asked why.
