Standing through this storm, enduring this brutal wind, not knowing where my road Will take me, wondering what's past the bend, this is my story, I decide the end, doors open they close, I'm not just going to go where the wind blows,fighting this battle till I win, I'm not going to give up again,the more you kick me when I'm down my true self is what is found, standing firm on solid ground.

This piece is when that stubbornness comes out, no matter how far you fall there's a chance to decide to pick yourself up you decide if you will or not though.
