Sterile.Love seems to be.But,Believe it?I don't.More so refuse to regardless of how much one gloats,Over my continued stand-off against doubt I pummel by,Never giving up.So what?Let them be jealous as the sun sets and,Rises by the time they decide to jump a fence,Now too high for them to climb!Restless as I find strength in,A challenge...
