Strength
A Poem by R.J Calzonetti (SinisterPotatoe)
The poem "Strong" simplified. For those people who prefer shorter poems. If you like longer ones, read Strong. If not, enjoy this if you find yourself still interested.
Who says I wasn’t one of you? Spun to bruise, blood runs to sooth the webs of the dead
I just think for myself, a sabercat, and that made me dangerous, but I was bred for bad weather
You don’t have to please everyone around you, it doesn’t matter, it's not my pleasure
Instrumental recollection, recolours the loveless and slumbers in my brother's breath
Slept past the depths of death
In the end, all it takes is just one more pound to break a man’s back
But you need that weight on your back to become stronger, every kilo, to chase the dream of being unbreakable
To feel invincible
So chase that dream, into infinity
Into insanity
Into a slow death
And call your corpse unbroken
When your ashes scatter like the pitter patter of the rain, as your hopes are shattered like collateral damage again
And suffer until your less than nothing but not enough
Suffer until your life is lifeless
And your vibrance dilates
Into a cold virus of stubborn silence
Suffer until you become a masochist
And the world the epidemic of sadistic
At the opportunistic affliction on your predictable condition
You just wouldn’t listen
And your tears will glisten, and no one will hear you cry
And no one will see you struggle
And no one will watch you fall
Because that’s what it means to be strong
And the bullies who made you strong will vomit the want to calm themselves
“Don’t hate yourself, I don’t hate you, he wouldn’t blame you, get over it snowflake”
They will say, as they live another day
And the world will roll over and go back to sleep, under the covers of another oblivious night, without you
And the days will pass on the asphalt of your passion abashed with laughter after this disaster, despite you
And no one will weep, as the days creep forward, no one will cry in sorrow, for you
And despite it all, you weren’t wrong, but now you're gone, along with your angst
Because you were a man of hope
Because you were God’s own
Because you were strong, all along, all alone

I very seldom reply to reviews, but I promise I read EVERY single one. I look forward to my next review, because it helps me learn. Even if it's just one word, I promise, I will be ecstatic to have the chance to hear what you have to say. Whenever you write something about my poems, or the themes of my poems, or criticize me it is not in vain. I will listen, learn and be thankful.
