The world will try to break me.
I hold my pieces together with glue.

The world will try to drown me.
I have learned how to swim.

The world will try to burn me.
I am incombustible.

The world will try to swallow me.
I have laced my skin with poison.

The world will try to forget me.
I have made my mark.

You wont ever annihilate me.
I will endure.

© Jenna V., Hamilton, ON, Canada

The author's comments:
I wrote this after receiving some negative views about how others see me. After going through my depression, this is how I feel. I will endure. Also immortal, and no matter how much these opposing views try to break me, I won't be broken.
