Just Stand Up.

Everything will be alright. The heart is stronger than you think, like it can go through anything - &even when you think it can’t - it finds a way to still push on, though.

Sometime you want to run away, ain’t got the patience for the pain &if you don’t believe it, look into your heart, the beat goes on.

I’m telling you things get better through whatever. If you fall, dust it off, don’t let up. Don’t you know you can go be your own miracle? You need to know.

If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough, but the heart keeps telling you don’t give up. Who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what? Don’t give up. Through it all, just stand up.

It’s like we all have better days, problems getting all up in your face. Just because you go through it, don’t mean it gotta take control, no.

You ain’t gotta find no hiding place because the heart can beat the hate. Don’t wanna let your mind keep playing you &saying you can’t go on.

I’m telling you things get better through whatever. If you fall, dust it off, don’t let up. Don’t you know you can go be your own miracle? You need to know.

If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough, but the heart keeps telling you don’t give up. Who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what? Don’t give up. Through it all, just stand up.

You don’t gotta be a prisoner in your mind. If you fall, dust it off, you can live your life. Let your heart be your guide. You will know that you’re good if you trust in good. Everything will be alright, yeah. Light up the dark, if you follow your heart. It will get better through whatever.

If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough, but the heart keeps telling you don’t give up. Who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what? Don’t give up. Through it all, just stand up.

You got it in you, find it within you. Through it all, just stand up.

I believe this applies to every aspect in life. I'll never forget Ma &Lolo. Ever. It still hurts everyday &I try to move on, but the worst happened - yet, I have found the silver lining. I've learned so much through it all - I have become stronger &wiser. It's difficult to look past the little things in one's day, so we make a fuss about it. However, the truth is that there are people dying out there every second - people who don't have loved ones, people who leave with unsaid thoughts or feelings, people who struggled to keep their life, &people who must leave their most precious ones.

There are worse things in life &I am grateful for this life, no matter what it gives me.

I'm standing up for Mercedes Mendiola, Joaquin Mendiola, Sasha Caraveo, others who have lost the battle to cancer, &most importantly, for myself.
