The Comeback Kid
Resilient. I am resilient.
4 years wasted, on what I called love.
Countless happy moments numbered more than the stars.
Shattered so quickly. Yet I was resilient.
Separation and divorce, happens to fifty percent.
Parents are human too, how could I forget?
Motherless now, she wants her own life.
I'm selfish, for wanting to share my happiness and strife?
I felt so cold and alone. Yet again, I was resilient.
I smiled everyday, because others need me.
Friends who give a text or a call, to let me know they're free.
I hated thinking that I was not strong enough.
I hated feeling that I just wasn't tough.
Having support does not make one weak.
Coming back to the fight, after facing defeat.
That is what makes me resilient.
