Life is tough

Life is tough. We don't go down easy
Each hit a scar upon my soul
Each hit makes me bolder
more battered and older
The battle grows longer
as I grow stronger
I know that you will beat me eventually,
Defeat me and eat me,
tearing my flesh apart with your steely claws
biting down within unwavering mist
with jaws like shards of broken glass
shattered years before by my steely fist
Until that day, dear Death,
I will continue kicking your ass
