Not a single thought
About what the media reports
Or what the statistics say
Not a speck of worry
About substance in my life
Affecting me
Thought I am invincible
Would never fall
And stand, still
But the surroundings
Have fallen
With hundreds of others
Being captured in the statistics
The invincible is now bare
And easy to conquer
For her surroundings
Have fallen
