So glad you decided to give my warrior side a chance. She can be a handfull. The first poem I chose I call Inviticus Invoked. I wrote it almost five yeras ago while facing my biggest scariest of the three major surgeries I have had so far. Not my best, admittedly, but it does what it is meant to do...Heaven
Inviyicus Invoked
You have no idea who I am
try to count me out
ignore
mistreat
abuse
I will remain
survive
live
torment and pain reside
within
laughter and joy seek
shelter
try to count me out
regret
deny
pry
I will survive
love
know
my heart and mind reign
and grow within
knowledge
wisdom
intuition
try to count me out
try
try
try
I will laugh as I
walk away.
bloodied but unbowed.
