I’m still standing

(A poem inspired by Elton John song titles)

Sometimes I feel like a Rocket Man,

Drifting through space,

Searching for peace, but caught in the race.

In the quiet, there’s a Sad Songs (Say So Much) refrain,

But I hold tight, pushing through the pain.

In the mirror, I see Someone Saved My Life Tonight,

A reminder that even in the darkest fight,

There’s always a way to be Stronger Than I Ever Was,

Though it’s tough, I rise because…

I’m still standing, after all this time,

Like a Tiny Dancer, holding onto the rhyme,

Life’s a Circle of Life, sometimes high, sometimes low,

But I’ll keep going, no matter how slow.

With Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me, I cry,

But I won’t let this break me, no, not I,

Because deep inside, I know I’m free,

And that’s the man I’m meant to be.
