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
