Weakened Poem by Darlyn Rose Villarosa

Stranded on this land of misery
Never ending sufferings around me
Everyone now is helpless
I’m the only source of their strength

What if I can’t give strength for them to hold on?
What if I my mind is ready to give up and my heart is weak to conquer my mind to go on?
I was weaker every time I carry their burden
I was dying inside in order to see them living

How can my love conquer all the pain?
How can I fight if everyone is giving up?

I want to be their hero so bad
So they can trust me with their lives
Be their strength and give them courage to fight with me
To save them from distress and agony

But who am I to do that
I’m just me who wants them to see life’s beauty
Convince them that it’s easy to live and fight
Than to die without knowing how to live
