Measure of Victory

Should a thousand expression limn the courage in you?
Never! not a word, not a crude
Not in a way that's true.

Should it bend your body but not your spirit?
Forever valiant, forever bold even so the ail
Your temple tardily buried.

Should you cry, not making crying your daily rhythm?
Despite crawling, despite wriggling pass 
This life's cruel riddle.

Should victory be measured with breath and not death?
When life concludes, concluded breath matters not
For winning is not determined by breath.

More Than Your Face

Dress yourself right,
To make it look bright.

A little curl here,
Or straighten it there.

Splendid is how you must look,
To get into other's good book.

Paint your nails a little,
To make it look glitter.

Thick eyeliner to make your day,
Pretty!to let others say.

But in the end,the race,
Is more than your face.
