Defeated Pain

Composed in a bold owning the world way

High heels feverishly clicking on the concrete

In control she owns and dominates the day

 

Nothing fragile about this woman of steel

Ready to conquer whatever life throws her way

Refusing to be a coward and weakly kneel

 

Calm balmy air swirls settling her nerves

Sun shining down warming the heart and soul

No longer ashamed of her generous curves

 

Languid movements are her chosen style

Pushing away the cruel jaded memories

Leaving behind the twisted corrupt trials

 

Looking forward to a fresh new beginning

With inner confidence and a fiery spark

Triumphs revealed peace she is winning

 

Time is mending past sorrowful pain

Her heart healed ready to feel again

The yearning has been defeated and slain.

Kristina, this whole writin stuff is liking you isn't it? And we're liking it too for the way it has transformed you into this more confident and sure woman. I'm really happy about that. We all search and stumble for ways to express the weight of the world in our arms, its always nice to see when someone can use that expression to show kindness and inspiration to others. This is what you've become, and what you do. You keep on chipping away at that opaque crystal sphere okay that we all have that pens and impounds us, its always there regenerating itself, but now and then we hit it just right and the light brilliantly comes streaming in...

Very good poem

[Nathan Thompson]

I agree with Enzo on this one, the lack of imagery certainly effects the reader and makes it hard for the poem to stick. It is well structured though. Keep going

It's sad and full of sorrow and misery.
Nice use of rhymes !
Great work!

I can relate to this poem very well. but the last line maybe should have been a question? the yearning has been defeated and slain? Is it ever completely defeated and slain....... I wonder? this is just my opinion but I loved your poem and I could feel all the emotion in this write. Loved it!!

[Marie Harrison]

the human spirit rising above ... inner strength boldly expressed

The life of woman who must work the street, you’ve capture the essence and feelings that she must endure, I like the last line;
(The yearning has been defeated and slain.)
The lost of all hope.
Excellent write.

Great write describing her journey from pain about who she is to finding her inner strength and accepting she is a wonderful person. I like this positive poem.

She is recovering, she is healing indeed. We all need to heal sometimes as more often than not we have to recycle through bad times, unlearn the fact that we're good ans start from scratch again..But we come up strong..A poem on these themes..But a poem on overcoming..We shall overcome some day..A wonderful work !
