Still Upright

Still Upright By Jennifer Shiloh I’ve leaned into the wind Let it tell me who I’m not Every hit tried to shake me But I stayed where I was I’m still upright After the fall Didn’t lose my center I didn’t lose it all I’m still upright Heart in my chest Still choosing forward Still doing my best I don’t need to prove it The ground already knows Balance is strength Nothing Wasted I replayed every wrong turn Like it was time I stole But even the detours Were shaping my soul Nothing wasted Nothing lost Every lesson Paid its cost I don’t wish it away It made me this way Some scars are signatures Of staying Growth remembers everything Held Together I’ve been cracked open More times than I count But I didn’t scatter I stayed on the ground I’m held together Not by luck or chance By truth, by patience By a second stance I didn’t glue myself I grew I know where I bend And where I don’t Strength has seams Took My Time They said hurry up Before it’s gone But I know the cost Of moving wrong I took my time And I got it right I didn’t trade depth For borrowed light What’s built slow Still stands I waited for the yes That felt like peace Rushing isn’t brave Even Now There were days I doubted Every word I said But the quiet kept reminding me I wasn’t dead Even now I still believe In the good I haven’t seen Even now I choose the climb One honest step at a time Hope doesn’t shout It stays Faith is persistence What Remains I stripped it down To what was real Left behind What couldn’t heal What remains Is solid ground A steady heart That won’t back down I don’t need more I need what’s true I kept the parts That carried me through This is enough This is me #music #originalsong #rock #femalevocal #emotionalrock #resilience #healing #healingjourney #healingmusic #anthemicrock #indierock #newmusic #empowerment #emotionalrock #empoweryourself #spiritual
