She Persisted. ~ A Poem By Ishita Bonnerjee.

🧡🧡🧡

While everybody around her was convinced how lucky she was,
There was a part of her soul no one knew,
A haunting darkness of depression existed within her mind,
There lay unexplainable pains that were not new,
She ached to find a love so true,
But wasn't she a mess as they conclude,
Without knowing the truth they judged her as if she was an outsider,
They tore her dignity into bits and pieces,
And with their imaginary expectations they tied her,
But whatever they did,
Her strong willpower could not be twisted,
Because she was born to persist,
And she persisted!

There was no end to how much she had bore,
It so made sense that she couldn't take it all anymore,
Sleepless nights already made her miserable enough,
The flashbacks to her drastic past were unbearably tough,
They could never decipher how much her heart ached for things that were beyond her,
Like the ones that were so normal for others,
But unfortunately too damn hard for her,
They tormented her via their own level of pitiable thinking,
And they didn't care an inch about her heart sinking,
But whatever they did,
Her guts couldn't be suppressed,
Because she was born to persist,
And she persisted!

The biggest lie she told was that she was fine,
That she was dying inside was, in fact, an unfathomable sign,
She was shattered underneath and she couldn't dream of looking resplendent,
Yet the cruel world only ridiculed her dull features,
They had no hint about the battles that she had won,
After so much, she was still prettier in heart than the millions of other overrated beautiful women,
She cried herself to sleep every single night,
The dawns were harder as the world would be then no longer quiet,
They objected to every aspect of her life as if she was a servant just created for the purpose of listening,
Any other girl in her place would have so forbid,
But whatever they did,
Her soul couldn't be inhibited,
Because she was born to persist,
And she persisted!

She always wondered what the hell she ever do
to deserve all this,
It boggled her mind to think if she had been a snake or a vampire in her previous lives,
People always admired that crown of hers so wonderful,
But they didn't see rejection that she faced so dreadful,
Or those heartbreaking memories that she hid in her heart so painful,
After that, It was so hard for her to be humble & thankful,
But still she tried,
What about those deceptions she faced just because people were attracted to her money,
What about that loneliness that kills her every single moment,
That aching that she cannot open up to the entire world because they misunderstood her,
But whatever they did,
Her soul couldn't be crushed,
Because she was born to persist,
And she persisted!

She couldn't trust anyone,
Because her trust had been broken a thousand times,
She had to think about her own self because others didn't care an inch about her,
She was labeled selfish & hard-hearted by the society,
But that didn't deter her a least from supporting the minority,
They didn't think twice before rubbing salt on her wounds,
As if they were a species of life-blood sucking hounds,
No wonder she hated their guts tremendously,
And she still survived to keep herself calm religiously,
But whatever they did,
Her heart couldn't be abashed,
Because she was born to persist,
And she persisted!
