He stands calm and collected, owning nothing but his own ideas and experiences. 
He stands firmly, with dreams and aspirations.
He stands fatigued, struggling to not be left behind. 
He stands uncertain with his own identity, within a society demanding change. 
He stands alone, surrounded by a world spinning out of control.
He stands at the forefront of a life that promises him failure.

And when everything else brings him to his knees,
He stands.
