One Single Impression: Invincible

.
Invincible

Invincible; knew not the word
young in age knew not harm

Invincible; sturdy's the game
youthful ambitions soared

Invincible; cried 'never fear'
peers were saying it too

Invincible; no longer fit
encounter with the bad

Invincible; oblivious
to ills perils abound

Invincibility's now gone
old age has taken toll
