Poem: Resilient
Resilient
Feeling determined
and motivated
when feeling valued.
Losing productivity
when feeling diminished.
Wallowing in self pity
after humiliation.
You can confirm
that the sorrow is real
when the tears flow
unrelenting.
"Crocodile tears" they are not.
It is cold
to make that assumption.
Although, recovering as fast
as I do
does indeed
take a lot of gumption.
Bouncing back
surprisingly quickly
after grave pain.
Picking myself up again
and saying that
a minute is
all of the time
that I have
to stay down.
When they rain has fallen
and my shoes are in the mud,
I go inside and start washing
my shoes.
