surviving life
A video of this poem is on You Tube but I was unable to add it here because it is not a spoken word one. The video has images, music and the words only.
i will speak
and speak out
speak out loud
if need be
trying to reach you
attempting to
get through to you
don't let the liars
cheaters and despisers
bring you down
to their level
tell you how to feel
they are the losers
the total opposite
of you
your love
and compassion
makes you rise high
above the rest
afterall, we
are survivors
you and i knowing
full well
our faith will
see us through
i will speak
and speak out
speak out loud
if need be
trying to reach you
attempting to
get through to you
don't let the liars
cheaters and despisers
bring you down
to their level
tell you how to feel
they are the losers
the total opposite
of you
your love
and compassion
makes you rise high
above the rest
afterall, we
are survivors
you and i knowing
full well
our faith will
see us through

This poem resonates on a deeper level, Faith! Love the write & the clear, assertive expression. Every word... so true! Each stanza is great & the middle stanza stands out very much. Sometimes, as you would know, the "liars cheaters and despisers" use not only meanness or mean methods to bring others down to their level. But also use subtle sleights of language & psychological tricks of persuasion to disempower their victims. Great piece, Faith! :)

I enjoyed your comments so much, Carlene and am so honored you added this oen to your reading list. I was going to add the link to the video someone made of my poem that is on You Tube until I realized it had to be spoken word. I think you would like the video.
Am thrilled you liked the poem so much. Many thanks for the wonderful feedback. :)

Well spoken, Faith! this should be a poem that all women should read as it makes the woman the speaker and many women still need to be voiced (and heard as well!!!)

Last verse favourite.
Verse two could be summed up as "Don't let them grind you down."
