Conquer The World

I've conquered the world
Shoved its nose in the dirt
I've made it well known
I won't be so easily hurt

It spat at me, laughed at me
Threw sticks and stones in my face
But nothing it can do
Will put me out of this race

I'm here for good now
I've taken my stand
I don't care if there's no one
Here to hold my hand

I may get pushed down
Off this rocky mountain side
But I swear I'll get back up
There's only one thing on my mind

I've conquered the world
There's no more stopping me
No matter what they say
I will be who I want to be

Love the spirit in this one.

Woot...Woot!!!! You betcha....I love to see that kind of spirit, and I do believe that you have conquered the world. Great job.

[MissWordSmith]

as always, strong and with a great message. this was really powerful. keep up the great work as usual :)

[PaperHearts]

Very nice! I liked the strength of this poem, and the way in which the poem itself felt like it could stand on its own two feet! You captured my attention from the very first stanza, and left me thinking after the very last! Great work,

empowering....inspirational - my favorite kind of write

[An owl on the moon]

Such a write of courage in the face of greatest adversity. There is the strength that comes from facing our fears and failures and moving on.. no matter what! Thank you for this lifting write!

[Devons]

Another fine piece of work (it's getting boring now!!) and the rhyming and flowing lines are perfectly put together - especially that final verse; it has a brilliant conclusion. Every verse, though, is very good. I really like the personification of the World:
"It spat at me, laughed at me
Threw sticks and stones in my face"

I would favourite this on technique alone...
....unfortunately, I have just one small criticism, and that's that the topic reminds me a little too much of women standing around and chorusing-out to "I Will Survive" !!!!!!

wow this was another amazing write. you are so talented. just amazing.

[Christina May Shanaberg]

Did you mean to write "nose nose" in the second line? Line 6 should be stick(s.) Other than those two minor things, this is a great theme for a poem and well written.
