I Still Survive

The pain you inflict, Mental and physical; I endure day and night, I still survive; More sufferings I bear, More the endurance I build; You uninvited guest, Captivated my body and mind; Without my knowledge, Touched me, hurt my heart; Weakened my scenic body, Coerced me to lie in clinic bed; Can give as much pain As the power you may have, I still survive; 'O' you evil cancer From land of tophet; You are mistaken, If you think can destroy me; May perish my body, Not me, my soul, I still survive; © sadashivan nair
