Defeat, You Will Not Win!

Janet Hunt
I am strong

I have taken the blows

I have given them back

Days have been long

Nights have been longer

The cold wind has blown

It has chilled me to the bone

I have seen these days come

And I have seen these days go

I've taken a beating

And I've mended my wounds

Days still come

When you think you will win

I have to face myself

In that mirror again

You may take me down

But you will not take me out

I am strong

I am here

I am alive

I deserve to be happy

You will not win!

    Somehow I failed to comment on this earlier. You will win and this is motivational to all of us who are facing troubles of one sort or another.

    Never give up. And I guess it has to be the motto for a lot of us. Good one.

    Good for you. I've lost my strength as of late due to illness (again). You've reminded me; however, that it is important to fight no matter what.
