Built Tough

Wear and tear on the loaded mind, Seeing only hardships, peripherally blind The breaks in normality shakes the conscious Deadly stones that life throws, dodging lethal launches No attention for those deserving of it; Well mannered individuals have to get in where they may fit Only the strong can balance the unequal pressures. Weak and feeble are startled by the lightest of feathers Trying to decide which way to go, Moving mountains to find the sun's glow Hoping the heart will take them there Laps around earth's circle and dances around society's square
