And now you're back
A malignant reminder
Another test
Another chapter in the story
I'll lose more of me
But you'll see
Once again
I stand strong
Here
Where I belong
I'll beat you again
You think my will has paled
It's not
You think my defences are weak
Guess what
I'll see you out
Consign you to my past
I'll last
And
In years to come
As I sit in the sun
And reminisce
I'll smile and be proud
And shout loud
YOU DIDN'T BEAT ME
