Still Standing Here | A Song About On-the-Job Trauma, Identity, and Quiet Strength

Описание: This song was written during a season I never expected—being off work because of on-the-job trauma. When the uniform comes off, the emotions don’t disappear. They surface. All at once. Fear, anger, shame, grief, doubt—every feeling I spent years managing suddenly demanding attention.

Still Standing Here reflects the internal battle of losing routine, purpose, and identity while trying to make sense of a quieter, heavier fight. It’s about feeling like a failure while still showing up. About learning that strength doesn’t always look productive, loud, or victorious—sometimes it looks like simply staying.

This song is not about politics or division. It’s about the human cost of service, the unseen weight carried home, and the slow work of healing when there are no quick fixes.

This music was created with the assistance of AI tools and human direction. The lyrics, theme, and message are original and written from lived experience.

If this song resonates with you, you’re not alone.
