Goals

A girl once stood in front of a mirror and told herself she ws beautiful.

Believing that one day she might conquer her dreams.

Conflating in a crowd of different people.

Demure but brave inside.

Emaciating even through the tough times.

Fain in the inside and out but inside she's breaking down.

good friends stand by her side.

Hardihood and pushing forward with a steadfast mindset.

Immeasurable when people tell her she won't make it.

jealous, never always thankful for what she has.

Kohl on the eyelids and enchanting eyes.

Lagniappe with the feet and moving to the beat.

mellifluous music that runs in and out of her ears, leaving the murmuring of pattering footsteps behind in her mind.

Nemesis is money which always keeps her running.

Overwhelmed when she knew she was almost there.

Pulverized but jovial.

Quiet but sweet she fulfilled her dreams.

Remembering her glory days as her hair turned gray.

Serendipity along the way, found a friend that was there to stay.

Time was running out, but she used it carefully.

Understanding life as it passes her by, so, she has pride in whatever she does.

Valuing the experiences and the memories.

Waltzing in the living room with her husband, she recalls the good times.

Xenophobia she doesn't have, she's always wondering what's in the unknown.

Yearning to be young once again and not hear her bones crack when she tries to dance.

Zany was life, but she enjoyed it and would do it once more as she let go of her final breath.

Reviews

[Unspoken poet]

such a kinda of a deep intriguing write, nicely written and expressed

[splattercore]

No one is ever going to do you any favors, in fact, they are all roadblocks in some form or another. We've got to push through them because if we don't, who will? They are always going to come up with a reason for why something can't be achieved. Bulldoze these roadblocks, take control of your life. I love what this is all about! A life that's passed, but a life that's lived!

This very deep, telling the life trajectory of a person.
I like the meaning and packed inner rhythm of the poem.
