One of the struggles I deal with, having limited mobility, is sometimes people see me and I walk good and I look fine, and a few hours later I can't walk and I'm having a hard time. People assume that being disabled is a 24/7 thing, but many conditions don't work like that.. As a result I've been judged by those who don't care to learn the truth as joking or even faking it. This has been a huge issue with those having Gulf War Syndrome where it isn't an all the time thing and even early on the doctors, not having answers, assumed all 75,000 of us were just faking it. The struggle with Doctors and the VA over the years was to just get taken seriously... We're Broken and would just like a little help. Verse 1 I served my country, did everything they asked Now I face my burdens, like a never-ending task I wore my uniform with pride, serving strong and true For the love of my country and the red, white, and blue Chorus I'm still holding on, though my strength is fading Trying to stand tall, but inside I’m breaking I gave all I had, and the world thinks I'm Jokin' But they don’t see the fight, they just see me broken! Verse 2 I yell at my legs to move, sometimes they don’t hear I sit here just waiting, for the pain to disappear My mind sometimes wonders, as I reach for my cane Trying to keep a smile going, not wanting to complain. Chorus I'm still holding on, though my strength is fading Trying to stand tall, but inside I’m breaking I gave all I had, and the world thinks I'm Jokin' But they don’t see the fight, they just see me broken! Verse 3 My hands keep shaking, but I’m holding on still Hiding the tremors, pretending it’s no big deal There’s more to my story I think that we can agree Don’t judge me yet, there’s lot's that you can't see... Chorus I'm still holding on, though my strength is fading Trying to stand tall, but inside I’m breaking I gave all I had, and the world thinks I'm Jokin' But they don’t see the fight, they just see me broken! ... I'm broken!!!! Verse 4 I don’t need your pity, just a little grace To help me find my way back to a better place I might be broken, but this is how I feel One step and a time I’m learning to heal Chorus I'm still holding on, though my strength is fading Trying to stand tall, but inside I’m breaking I gave all I had, and the world thinks I'm Jokin' But they don’t see the fight, they just see me broken!
