Stronger Still

Stronger Still

A Poem by John Alexander McFadyen

Stronger Still

I am no oil painting,

but the pigment life has layered

upon my soul

forms the me I am.

But on my canvas different artists

have tried their hand,

so I am not a Picasso,

Goya or a Rembrandt.

I have my own signature,

my own unique brush stroke.

I am constructed of scars

laid down by each torn dream.

And as each wound heals

my once soft skin hardens,

till leather like,

I can withstand the pain.

I no longer feel each and every lash

and when the punishment is over

I walk away;

stronger still.
