A quest to climb a mountain high
With a smile but a deep sigh
Beautiful dreams written in gold
But some beliefs needed to be cajoled
A foggy vision and hands tight-fisted
Nevertheless, she persisted
Observing and absorbing every scene
Some fights within that could not be seen
Success is failure turned Inside out
Overshadowing every cloud of doubt
Mixed feelings of distrust & hope co-existed
Nevertheless, she persisted
Things did go wrong and knew they will
With steep curves that carted uphill
Impediments that threw out of gear
Grim and thorny to see anything clear
Sometimes weary , sapped but encrusted
Nevertheless, she
persisted
Every journey is queer
with its twists & turns
No matter what, one is bound to learn
Looking back on the battle afterwards
Some stories cannot be put to words
She wanted to say but resisted
Nevertheless, she persisted
Hold a little motto, say a little prayer
Nothing is too far, you are almost there
Regardless of the time it takes
Once you have resolved, you cannot shake
Only a brief soreness that subsisted
Nevertheless, she persisted!!!
Lovely poem!!!
ReplyDeleteAs I read this, I could hear the voice of our highschool English teacher in my head after reading this poem in class. Asking the students:
(1) Who do you think the poet is referring to (and then a discussion on that)?
(2) Do you think the poet is referring to their own struggles or someone else that they know of or general struggle of of general struggles girls face in a society... and so on...
Would make a lovely poem in school syllabus. Quite thought provoking :-)
It seems so much like a Wordsworth poem. Keep up the good work. I am so proud of you
