he was a really strong man
& he just got stronger
things happened to him
that he couldn’t do anything about
but he was so strong
he just let them happen to him
gritted his teeth and tried not to think about before or after
i mean so strong
u couldn’t believe how strong he was
he kept on walking and living
gritting his teeth all the while
and when bad things came out to get him
he just stood there patiently
& let them
let them do all they could
but he was still there
still strong and then stronger
he was so strong

until one day he woke up & died.
