Perfectly Imperfect Me

You came out of nowhere,

Like a sucker punch.

 

There was no time,

To expect you,

Or build up stone walls.

 

All I could do,

Was hide inside flimsy barriers,

As my castle was under siege.

 

There was nothing to hope for,

After a time,

And it seemed that you had won.

 

But,

Sometimes in the worst times,

You find strength in the strangest places.

 

And as I held my sword,

I knew that you were a punch,

And I blow.

 

And I wasn’t surprised,

By you anymore.
