Good Try. But Not Today.

Throw whatever you want at me.

Fireballs
spears
mountains,
whatever.

No matter how many times you hit me
and knocked me down again,
I'll stick my broken bones together
sew the smile back onto my split lips
and stand back up to face you.

Because yeah,
you've got the world on your side.
A million apocalyptic possibilities
hovering on the horizon
making plans to come crashing down at any moment.

But I have little victories
that get me through my day.
The warmth of a hot chocolate mug in my hand
adorable animals
the kindness of a stranger
and hugs from a friend.

A handful of these
will always trump your possibilities.

Good attempt.
But not today.
