A Poem

They wanted her to drown...

Instead, she chose to breathe it in.

They wanted her to fail.

Instead, she chose to win. πŸ†

🌸

She cannot be tamed...

There are no chains that can bind.

If you argue with her now,

You'll end up losing your mind. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

🌸

The old her is gone.

No fear can break through.

She's reborn and unclaimed.

Don't like it? Fuck you. πŸ–•

🌸

Her voice is thunder.

Her heart is a flame.

She's no longer a shadow...

No longer the same... πŸ¦β€πŸ”₯

🌸

Her strength is her weapon.

Her soul is her truth.

Her words are her armor.

Her scars are her proof. ❀️‍πŸ”₯

🌸

She stomped out the devils,

her mind wrapped in steel.

Unbreakable woman...

Her wounds can now heal. β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή

🌸

Her spirit eternal,

her will set in stone.

She conquers the darkness,

no longer alone. πŸ’

🌸

No force can undo her.

No fate can confine.

Unstoppable woman.

It's her time to shine. ✨

🌸

    I love it so much! The power and strength that you put into these lines came through the screen with full force. So goood!

    πŸ’–This photo was a work of art! I love how I can see each individual line; the warm tone of the image beautifully complements the warmth of your presence. Your use of Antithesis really showcases your strength. The contrast between what "they" wanted for you and the victorious results you achieved was so satisfying to read. I can see the progression of your narrative; your strength has grown to the point where no one could weaken it, especially in that line: "You'll end up losing your mind." And honestly, that emoji [πŸ–•πŸΎ] made me like the piece even more; it is such a bold, visceral punctuation mark! πŸ’–The rhythm is fantastic.
