Misery

My misery is my strenght

The Gods enjoyed my misery

They thought that they had won

But they forgot I have their power

I promise you, it has just begun

The sweat I gave in training

Are the price I gave to fight

The scars I got from battle

Are the reasons that I'm a knight

They said "You can't."

I said, "Why not?"

Their words were empty

Such a sorry lot

You may think you are alone

And maybe you are

But you have the will of many

Be proud of your scars

This reminds me of my story "The Fifteenth Year" because the main character fights for her rights against the gods who rule her island. I love the last stanza because it's such an inspirational message. Everyone should be proud of what they have been through!

Something to show where determination will get you, very cool! Turning pain into power is a great motivation sometimes, especially when you have people rooting against you. Great piece!

This is great motivational writing Calvinn - it feels unfinished though. Like a coaching session interrupted - I was expecting the clap on the back and the 'Lets get 'em !!" - but a very good write so far...

[CalvinnTay]

I will keep that in mind when I write my next poem. Thank you for your review.
