My Battle Poem by Mary Nagy

My Battle



People often ask me
how I ever stood my ground,
when trouble just surrounds me
and people push me down.

I say to them (with tongue in cheek)
I'm sure my work's not done.
I may have fought the battle,
But the war is not yet won.

I will always manage
to hold my head up high.
(Even though that enables them
to better see me cry.)

What a poignant twist in the last verse Mary. Defiance in all but that; then the mask comes off and shows how hurt you are. 'How was it for me? ' Heart-rending TJ
