The Stoic

You whirl through life without remorse your mind with Stella glory you're life so lived with stern in course you block out auditory You feel no pain which serves you well and others do respect no gain for physicians to therefore tell no need for ill detect It may seem as if you are complaining when you say ouch or start to flee you don't feel it though it's worth explaining for the stoic here is me

Not everybody is capable of keeping calm and show little or no emotion, Angela. It has both its good and bad points. Regards // paul

Many of us were taught to be stoic, and at a young age. Well penned

It is not easy to be a stoic. I know I'm not one and as I grow older I tend to feel pain more and express it. A well-composed poem. ~~

Thank you, Victor for reading and commenting. I've recently started to become one. My biggest thing is going to the doctor. I feel that I'm perfectly fine. I believe in the term "what you don't know won't hurt you". :)
