Stubborn resistance
Or just luck, holding on
Piece de resistance
When everything’s gone
A fragile existence
Hanging out on a limb
Determined persistence
Branching beyond a whim
Barely surviving
One with the elements
Wild roots that keep climbing
Clinging to sentiments
It’s beauty a wonder
It’s strength, becoming testament
Succeeding while under
The pressures of pain’s unrest
Still, what’s lovely remains
Hanging there, in the balance
Keeping the unsung, sane
Exceeding life’s challenge
Giving one final reason
For me to withstand
The change of the season
Embracing who I am
