The Silent Foe

I am so much stronger, have been for so much longer than you know Don't let the visual mislead you for I battle an evil kniving silent foe Physical strength is what I want to surround me so weakness never will show I can hide the flaw with a bright smile gleaming and the elusion of perfection beaming I fight as I surmise that my health will be the ultimate prize I know wellness is taken for granted by others who's fortunes were much differently slanted My foe relentlessly shoves me around once in awhile but my stubborn will pushes me through the next mile Some might say stubborn is a quality unbecomming but to me it is life sustaining and incredibally stunning
