A Poem

I know strength as a plaything,
something to be toyed with.
I know strength as an estranged neighbour,
awaiting contact.
I know strength as my enemy,
bringing me pain to survive the war on itself.
I know strength as a plaything,
something to be toyed with.
I know strength as an estranged neighbour,
awaiting contact.
I know strength as my enemy,
bringing me pain to survive the war on itself.
