Conquered

Mountains of pressure to which I succumb,

Certainly not pleased with who’ve I become.

Misgivings subdued,

Enhanced fortitude,

With some persistence, I shall overcome.

*Everyone knows I don't follow word count directions well, thus forcing me to resort to adding disclaimers to reach the minimum. As a sonnet writer, I loved the iambic pentameter touch (but wasn't in a sonnet mood this morning).
