Being invincible is not enough
by Benji
The cold pushes against me
and I brush it off –
pretending it doesn’t hurt
when it really stings.
The howling wind rushes past -
enveloping me as I stand in its way -
and I remind myself once again
not to break, not to lose hope.
A tear escapes from my eye –
and I try brush it off before anyone notices -
blinking, I pretend the bitter wind doesn’t hurt
when my bones really ache.
