In measures of six and

irregular rhymes

🌻🌻🌻🌻

Beat me, isolate me

Make me blue and lonely

Block me, discourage me

Put me in agony

Whatever you will do,

Wherever the next blow,

I withstand your attacks

I take pain; I push back

🌼

Words, manipulation,

Knives, bruises, cuts and scars,

Evil eyes, jealous hearts,

Go plan my destruction

Choose your weapon wisely

So it will be spread and known,

I deserved, earned my crown

I take pain; I push back

🌼

Pull me down, lie to me

Stab my back, take control

Pretend you are my friend

I can see through your soul

I've been toughened by time

I've aged well like sweet wine

Come near and here; attack,

Abuse me; I'll push back

🌼

I've push through obstacles

And I've done miracles

I've been through hell and back

I take abuse and pain

I rise up, I push back

I'll do it all again

To take back what is mine

To protect what is mine

🌼

Hi!

It's been long since I've written a good poem. I mean, I think this one's pretty good. I'm proud of it. The measure and meaning's maintained.

And no, no one's bothering me. It's just that sometimes, I feel like the Universe or God or whatever, is blocking me??? Maybe, that's just my anxiety and overthinking. Maybe, I'm just being tested. But that is the idea behind this poem: if they test me, I will pass that shit with flying colors 💪🏻 (altho I'll complain the whole time 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Till the next poem 💖
