Punishing waves of agony crash along your nerves
And as they recede they leave riptides of aches behind
It makes it difficult to breathe, to think
Now you wonder if you can tough it out, or if this time it will break you

Pass (an acrostic poem)
Persevering when times get tough is necessary to succeed.
And everyone knows, doing the same thing and expecting different results is insanity.
So, does that mean to be successful you need to be more than a bit touched?
See, it’s leaps in logic like that that show how I almost failed philosophy class.
Struggle (an acrostic poem)
So things are getting pretty tough
That might be an understatement
Really it’s moments like these that define who we are
Understanding how to work past pesky problems
Giving each other a hand and cross the finish line together
Going the extra distance because we choose to do so
Looking forward to sharing stories over a cold one at the pub
Enjoying our victory over this…

Fragile (an acrostic poem)
Flexible was never how Cybil would describe herself
Really she was almost as stiff as a steel beam
And yet she was nowhere as tough
Given she could simply walk down the street and pull any number of muscles
It was frustrating to want to do so much, but she just couldn’t
Looking at her you would never know
Else you might cut her some slack

Dual Wielding (an acrostic poem)
Double the trouble was not what Marcus wanted
Usually, he tried to avoid fighting when time traveling
As it didn’t really prove anything in his world
Looking at the two thugs with their swords drawn he knew he didn’t have a choice
Watching his foes split apart, he hesitated drawing his weapons
If he played his hand too quickly he would lose his only surprise
Everything would come down to timing
Lazily he took a small step back
Daring his attackers to press their perceived advantage
It must have been too good a temptation
Now they charged him. He pulled out twin pistols from where they were hidden
Going to be tough to explain the bodies, but better them than him

Cute (an acrostic poem)
Cuddling her close, Derrick enjoyed her warmth
Under his light touch, she purred with pleasure
The night was young and the two of them were curled up on the couch together
Even though Derrick was allergic, he still loved his kitty

Epic (an acrostic poem)
Everything began when he finally agreed to go on the quest
People think it went to the next level when he fought the dragon
It was pretty tough, but not the thing he feared losing the most
Calling on Julia and asking for her hand, that was where the legend was born
