A poem

Let my words out, for I can't keep it forever in my chest

Let my wrath emerges, for I do not like the feel of it

Cause the taste of failure is too bitter for my tongue to endure

And it is better to spit it out before my guts start to burn

You may see me as weakling to torture or worthless creature to mock

But notice this

I am a proud human

Unlike a bird that would faint when its wings broken 

Unlike a fish that would sink and when it realizes it cannot moves its fins to swim

I am a proud human

And I would not halt even if your blades cut through my limbs, I'll walk with my face if i have to!

It is not a promise of success i'm writing

Just words of strong will and perseverance

I know I will fall again in the future, for I am not a perfect man

But my knifes are getting sharper

Even the dull ones will leave bruises

You may have me on my knees hundreds more times

But do not laugh nor brag to the devil

For no matter how strong the resistance

I will rise and rise again!

To challenge you one more time
