strength

tough…  I’m tough.

I repel the evils

the forces that pull me

into dark rooms

and scarred faces.

I’m tough and strong

able to withstand the onslaught.

I will not let them succeed

in bringing me down

to play in their games.

I walked through the swamps

and lost forest

my will and patience

were stretched… tested

to see if I will break,

but I never did.

I stayed on my feet

keep moving, one more step.

I rose above the filth

laid firm my moral base

a foundation of confidence

toughness and Grace.
