Can’t Stop Living
© 2025 R3Zondo

i fell hard on the floor of the moment
asked the past to leave the room
but the seconds kept marching like soldiers
while the silence filled with gloom

all the pages i burned in the struggle
left a trail i still can trace
there’s a flicker where the ashes rumble
in the corners of this place

i’ve howled into empty spaces
i’ve begged the sky for peace
but this heart won’t be erasing
the fight that won’t release

can’t stop living, not today
there’s a rhythm in the ache that won’t drift away
i wear time like a jacket, torn but brave
i’m not broken, i’m just made
can’t stop dreaming, though i’ve cried
through the wind and the fire, i’m still alive
still rebuilding, still driven
can’t stop living

i’ve watched trust fade in the silence
seen goodbye with tear-stained eyes
but i kept that ember quiet
buried under all the lies

there’s no anchor that holds me forever
no regret that will define
i may bend beneath the weather
but i climb with every line

some nights i shake and question
why the pain still stings
but i rise through every lesson
and i learn what living means

can’t stop living, not tonight
in the crash of the dark, i still chase the light
all the wreckage and ruin, it carved my name
i’m not afraid of flame
can’t stop hoping, won’t pretend
that this story was written to break, not bend
still rebuilding, still driven
can’t stop living

no, can’t stop living…
i’m still here and i’m still giving…
in the ashes, i found meaning…
can’t stop living…

(Summary)

“Can’t Stop Living” is one of the most personal anthems I’ve written. It’s about resilience when everything feels like it’s falling apart. Every verse honors the pain we carry, the doubt we face, and the strength we reclaim. I wrote this for anyone who’s ever felt on the verge of giving up, yet found a reason, no matter how small, to keep breathing, rebuilding, and moving forward. This song is my battle cry, my truth, and my reminder that even through the darkest storms… I can’t stop living.
