Battered and bruised
Yes,
I am
Battered and bruised.
But
I still rise
To claim
A new today.
Although my bed provides primal comfort and warmth,
I still embrace
The cold
That reality brings.
I am strong
I will survive
That mountain over there
I will climb it
Despite its towering height.
Yes
I am
Afraid of heights
Afraid of the unknown,
Afraid of you.
Yet
Feeling the fear,
I do it anyway and
Plunge
Into the unknown,
Only to re-discover
That I am
A survivor.
Battered and bruised
I am
David
To your Goliath.
Yet still I fight on
Determined
That while breath breathes in my body
I won’t let you
Crush me.
Battered and bruised,
I face the world

And smile.
