Invincible Spirit
To be invincible
Is to be strong
Is to not give up,
When everything feels wrong.
To be invincible,
Is to stand tall
And help others in need,
Whenever they falter or fall.
It’s not something that is given.
It’s not something that’s taught,
It’s something we are born with,
Whether we like it or not.
It ties us together,
This invisible link.
It ties us together,
In more ways than you think.
Whether by sheer humanity,
Or humility.
By our insanity,
And even our personalities.
In times of need,
In times of distress,
It’s this link that helps us through
All the chaos and the mess.
Our spirits remain strong,
Whether it be by a lot or by a little,
Our invincibility remains with us,
even when belittled.
