Another Poem: Untitled

I still am
despite this
with this
fighting this
under this

molded
burned
touched
taught
humbled by this

uninvited illness
engraved upon my life
not yet named
not yet understood

I still am
here
loving
laughing
feeling
thinking
creating
dreaming
enduring

I still am
a soul born into an
awesome, mysterious
wonderful and sometimes
cruel and unjust world

Despite this
with this
under this
fighting this
humbled by this

I still am
and I will not
give up
