Here I was and here I stand.
I felt like I’ve been here
for a thousand years.
There’s been fear and tears,
yet I’m still standing
after so many years.
You might’ve called me
a failure and I might’ve proved
you right.
But after all those fights,
I’m still here,
breathing and trying.
Like nothing will ever stop me,
I will be
and I will rise
no matter how hard you tried
to deceive me
and hurt my pride.
I see you’ve taken your leave,
wonder where you’d be.
And would you be at peace?
Well, it doesn’t matter.
Don’t you remember
I’ve been here
since a long time ago.
And here without you,
I’ll just grow.
— Petra
