Dive in!
They
told her to try,
She
knew it better,
But
still tested her nerves,
May
be solace could come in handy.
She
had done it before,
The
results no different,
Something
always seemed misfit,
But
she was not a weakling.
“Baby,
could you dive in”,
The
pit so deep in.
Tired
of herself,
People
thought she was pushover.
“Anything
for you, love”,
She
said and dived in.
The
onlookers throttled,
Anxiety
was far from her.
Never
knew who she was.
A
brave heart or a torn one.
But
rattled were they who had
Tormented
her. Bullied her.
But
the warrior was determined,
World’s
no haven, she agreed
Finally.
And life thought so too
Time
she donned a mask.
I think a heart can sometimes be both brave and torn.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work!
Yes but few don't realise it ! Glad you liked it Lily :)
DeleteBeautiful Poem.
ReplyDeleteI understand about "The Mask."
Thank you :) So glad you approve !
DeleteNo she is better without a mask. nice read.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I feel masks save you ... ! It takes huge amount of courage to unmask and huge amount of despair when you decide to mask yourself.
DeleteSo glad you liked it Kalpana :)
This is beautiful, but sad. The world can be an unkind place sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Janna ... ! World's definitely unkind !
DeleteThere are so many masks that each of us wear.
ReplyDeleteI liked this a lot.
And I liked that you liked it a lot ... ! Thanks a lot yarnspinner :)
DeleteI wonder if there is anyone bereft of a mask. It's such a shame !
Here's hoping the mask comes off again some day!
ReplyDeleteI also think brave and torn. Nice symmetry.
Ohh don't I have the same hope ... ! Its real difficult to lead a maskless life even when you have the courage to do so .. ! Thanks for stopping by Kymm :)
DeleteThis is awesome work but are you sure you've used the correct definition? Trifecta accepts only the third definition of a given word (unless otherwise noted). It sounds like here that you may have used definition 2. It would be unfortunate if you'd be disqualified from possibly winning due to a technicality.
ReplyDeleteAw ... now that's a disappointment Draug ... I leave it to you guys to decide ! Still I am glad you liked it ... :)
DeleteGreat work, even if it isn't the third definition. Powerful!
ReplyDeleteThanks TMW nevertheless... ! Phew ... a disappointment !
