Alone But Strong And Undefeated Poem by RIC BASTASA

in this world
you do not know anymore you is really on your side
you are not surprised
these betrayals and back stabs have become more real
and you accept them as is

when someone talks to you you talk back
holding trust, reserving beliefs
and you listen, there is no harm absorbing
you swallow a part, digest, and when thoroughly chewed
you throw away those which are toxic
and indigestible

you find yourself alone
strong and undefeated.
