Defy Defeatism Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

Defy Defeatism

Rating: 5.0

The days are so heavy.
Pains and weight of sadness
Press down on me,
Making each breath
Seems the last.

I am drowning,
Drowning......
But I forced myself
To focus on floating.

I will never,
Never give up
On life.

The pain I feel
Can fuel my purpose.
It can open an avenue
For happiness.

Giving up
Is never,
Never a part of me.
