#WritingPrompt: expectations vs. rolling with punches.

Unstoppable

Poetry

I think life likes
to
(punch —
punch —
punch —
me down)

Every time
I lose
(punch —
punch —
me down)

Plans are
shredded
— burned
to the ground
(punch —
me down)

And I’m left with
scattered ashes
(punch — )

Where my heart should
be
( — me down)

And I get up
all the same
(punch —
punch —
me
down)

Although I
learned
long ago
(punch —
me
down)
