LIFES

You think it's over

don't you?

Back against the wall

having lost it all

you think I'm in your thrall

but I'm not.

I am not yet defeated.

I will not yet say die.

And

even if I do

that won't be the end of it

for I

I am like the proverbial cat

who, even after dying

must die eight more times

to be truly brought low.

And I

I am nowhere near

such depths.

I am as high

as I ever need be

though still may go higher.

And

even if I fall

I will not go 'splat.'

I will bounce back.

I am just like a cat.

How do you like that?
