Gregg Marcucci Poet Rhyme

I am

I have been cut by words 
And cut by the blade
I have bled
And I have been betrayed

I have been bullied
Made the butt of many a joke
Yet I stand and defend 
Not cower or provoke

I know triumph
And experienced defeat
I know pain
And darkness beyond belief

I remain a student
But continue to empower
While my heart weeps
That my disposition is so dour

I give more than is required
Much more than I take
Shots wound flesh and soul
But my mind you will never break

And while lies and deception
May seduce minds that are weak 
The shadow cast by truth, for some 
Looms like an insurmountable peak
