I Am A Survivor. Poem by Monkals Kalu

In the face
Of rages and
Terrors of life,
I have survived.

The sultry
Of furnace that
Subdues the mettle
Of metals, drilled my guts.

The fierceness of
The wind, and waves
Of the ocean could only
But trouble the sky; not me.

Pestilence tainted
The air with fear, yet
I had faith, and the eyes
Of evil scoured the night,
But found me sound asleep.

I am a survivor!
Though trials and
Tribulations may try
To raise its hands like
A drowning drunk, to pull
Me down the deep, yet I'll
Emerge, cos I Am A Survivor!
