What Doesnt Kill You! Poem by Heaz Rha'el

On this metal wheeled bed he laid,
With every single breath delayed....
With life and death he struggled, day and night,
He wasn't going to give up, not without a fight....

It happened few hours back,
When he got hit by a heart attack...
It was the worst part of his day,
What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger, they say...

Just yesterday with his little daughter he played,
She asked a promise, he said he'd stayed...
Now and forever was that which he did made,
And now slowly, everything seem to fade.....

He once told her, love makes you longer,
What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger....
That which she believed now makes her wonder,
Yeah, it didn't kill him, but were his strength are?

On his feet, he still can't,
So weak and pale like an infant.....
Looked like he'd die in an instant,
What doesn't kill you, he said could make you a giant.....

She stared long, and his pale dying smile she met,
Then she realized what he never said but meant.....
Sometimes what doesn't kill you,
Could leave you half-dead, he probably knew....
Could take life away and make you unhealthy....
And death it'd make you wish already!
