Never Not

The day is now done There were fleeting feelings of fun Some futile battles were won Some not Anxiety was temporarily abated Silly, stupid dreams deflated Depressed mood finally elated Then not Pain occasionally improved With measures mostly removed Every joint & muscle soothed All better forever Nope, not But love consistently prevails Through life's knives & nails Through all the above Not shaken by smirk or shove Nor threat or ill intent to be free of Or razor sharp tongue To inflict pain & misery on some Will I be one Never, NOT !!!
