I made my decision long ago
If I am not strong what am I made of
If I am not brave am I a coward
If am not going somewhere am I an extra
The rain patters softly on the roof
I struggle vainly as a trapped sparrow
Its wings about to be clipped
Stubborn they say, I smile
I look down at my stomach and give
A repulsive look, sickened, I grit my teeth
Lace my runners and look up
Eyes on fire
I made my decision long ago
This life, is not for the feint hearted
Run flat out till I drop, who cares
But they'll never take my spirit, they can't take it away

Hey all, I did these poems in June last year
And if they seem a little raw and rough it
Might be cos I haven't edited them much,
They haven't changed much since then
