My Poem. It is titled : "Stronger"

Never Give Up

Not giving up...not giving in..I'll fight my RA till very end. 

You may think that you have the upper hand but Im a fighter

Who fights to win!  You are just a bully who likes to pick on me...

If your not attacking my hands you 're attacking my knees. 

I bet you thought you could defeat me so easily ...but you messed

With the wrong warrior and soon you'll see ...you'll see just how

strong this warrior can be!  Did I look like an easy target to

You? Let me tell you...this time..you've bitten off more...

Than you can chew!  I may get down at times..I may even break

Down and cry...but never mistake my tears as a sign of a weakling..

Because defeating you is ALL I'm seeking!!  Crying doesn't 

mean Im weak ..I grow stronger ..with each tear I wipe from

My cheek.  As long as there is a breath within me...i will fight you 

...until you ...I defeat!!©

The " Tin" Within

I am the Tin man ...without the tin. 

The feeling i have ..is from..

within. No ...I'm not "Tin"..covered 

from head to toe ...but my

insides ...sure feel like it though!  

Always searching for the oil to

set me free. Is that too much 

to ask? Can't I just be? My joints... 

feel ..all rusted shut..like my bolts 

and screws are all rusted up. Was 

I  left out for months ...in a hideous 

storm? Because feeling this sore

isn't the norm!  Where is my oil can ....

cause I've had enough!?!? This 

feeling I have IS ...quiet frightening..because 

all of my joints just keep on tightening!  

If you find my oil ...PLEASE let me 

know...because this Tin man HAS GOT

TO GO!!! ©
