Deditionem Non Ero (Surrender I Shall Not)

25anderh

You may see me struggle,

But you won't see me fall.

Regardless of whether I'm weak or not,

I'm going to stand tall.

If I don't, time will consume me and will force me to crawl,

Subdued to my knees, trapped within walls,

Day after day, I continue to grasp. 

Till the day death meets me and that will be my fray.

    Defying even the worst of moments from breaking you completely. So much inner strength punches from your lines. Fabulous to read
