Comment from Becky Kern-Taylor
Very strong piece. I noted the saddness but then the strength comes through. Typical of most of our lives. We must endure and thrive, that's what life is all about, isn't it?

Comment from pome lover
This is powerful and positive.
If it is not fiction, then bravo for you - a marvelous attitude.
The verses - short and succinct - depict great effort and control in the person speaking. It begins with sadness and despair, then gains strength and determination.
Well done.

This is an excellent entry for the Start and Ends the Same contest. I think you have a typo you might want to fix: "Somewhat scared, Somewhat frighten." Perhaps it should be "frightened." Your poem is nicely done.

You have given the prompt a very unique take. I like it.
One of my favorite topics of conversation to ave with my middle schoolers was 'the power of being resilient'.
Best of luck with the Start and Ends The Same writing prompt contest.

Thank you
Comment from Marjon van Bruggen
Strength, yes, that's what we all need when times are tough and everything seems to work against us. I found a lot of help in praying, it soothed me and the Lord showed me how to overcome the hardships. Writing about what happens to you, finding words for haunting thoughts also helps.
You made a good start with your "strength"-poem.

Your poem is a picture of the agony one goes through when beaten down and determined to rise again. I could feel it in your writing. You put a lot of feeling into it. I think your word at the beginning and end is to be included in the body of your poem. I may be wrong but that may hold you back. I only have one suggestion as you have done a great job with this.
Somewhat frighten (I would put "ed" on frighten so it would be past tense like scared is in the line above)

Great work! I equally can identify with the poem. The sentence, "you are never given more than you can handle" has always been a magic in my life, giving me strength when daily challenges came with crushing knocks. Thanks for the great thoughts.
