Poem Goals

Defeated

I am strong

Mentally, and physically.

Yet it took my all my strength

To not cry

To not cry at the horrifying sight

Of my cousin on that hospital bed

Sick with pneumonia.

She would just lay there

With her pale eyes

Her weak voice

Seeing her like that

Broke me.

Someone you love, with something so deadly

It makes the strong weak

It breaks the strong

It makes the immortal

Mortal.

It makes you

Defeated.
