Poem
Saturday night October 24, 2015 8:39 p.m. Kansas City, Mo Stephen Becker pen name Brian Stoaks ‘Forever Royals” When depression beats you down where you feel you can never win When your mind thinks of sleeping peacefully without ever seeing the sunlight I want us to think of things that remind us of the survivors who beat the odds Think of the Royals, that’s right, the team who have beaten every odd Who are these Royals that the world speaks of as the winners chose to lose? They are a collection of men who fight day in and day out to achieve success Like depression that brings you to the brink of ending your life forever Like you, picked to be dead last, in a world full of unbelievers in your ability to survive When the thoughts of eternal life without a beating heart to keep you breathing Where day after day bullies beat you down into a life of confinement and darkness As nothing seems to matter for you feel like no one ever notices you’re even alive Believe in your heart, your mind, and your soul as the Royals believed in themselves As the chosen to lose their daily battles on the diamond of dreams Picked to be forgotten about as the team whose fluked season ended in game seven Stand up and be the mighty, beautiful, intelligent, successful human being that you are Win the greatest fight to prove the world wrong, just be forever Royals
