My
Lone Nemesis
I
feel his presence - ever so slightly
Persisting, taunting, relentless
I refuse to surrender, nor fall prey to his dominance
He is getting stronger
He will conquer me today
His victory is but a microorganism of my existence
Yes he will take my body…once again…
But never my soul
My spirit is strong as he…No-stronger!
He will tire of me
There…There he goes
But he will return
Sometimes he will invade me
Disrupt my life
Even try to destroy me
His army consists of germs, viruses and bacteria
His biological warfare is in vain –
For I have recovered from our last battle
You see my psychological armor is my antidote
Yes… I am stronger than he
L. Dickinson
