The Love She Had: Thoughtful Poetry



 

T

It was a bright day and she decided to love.

She decided to change her trajectory.

For all the pain and confidence she had;

People seemed to think, She had no love.


She gave up the things that were holding her back.

She knew that if she put her mind to it she could do anything.

She had one weakness;

The fact that even she knew it would take a miracle for her to love.


I know that she is pretending.

I know she is faking it.

I know that we will be right.

She could never prove us wrong;

We always had a hold on her.


She knew that they could be right this time.

She looked at herself in the mirror.

She remembered why she started this journey.

She knew that no matter what, she would die trying.


Therefore, when the time came for her to fail,

She nearly did.

She didn’t know that being a failure was her first test.


She proved worthy to be the icon that she knew she was.

She made sure everyone was watching.

She took all of herself and changed the world.


You see, her tenacity was the gift.

The gift made her accomplish all her goals and put the icing on the cake.


The love she had was only the beginning to her success.
