I Will Not Buckle

poem by: Elizabeth J White
Written on Jan 19, 2018 

I have been shackled with burdens and woes . I have been loaded down with heart aches and burdens
but I keep on going. My heart is still pumping though it has been broken and scared, keeps on beating 
still. I thought once I was a victem, now realize I am a survivor. I keep going though this life load is heavy many have buckled under the strain. I guess I could at any time, I keep going, I heard what don't kill you makes you stronger, I believe that. I have survived losing people I so adore. Oh but the load just keeps being heaped on, I am pulling it all up the mountain, heavier and heavier but I keep going. I feel my back bending, and knees feeling week, but I keep on. Though the road has been long and the journey has been rough, I keep hanging on,
