No Means YES!

They said I couldn't do it,
that I did not have it in me.
Stripping me of my free-will,
denying me any courtesy.

Doubting my every advance,
they thought that I was prodigal.
Underestimating my will-power,
they mistook me for a non-radical.

Rebuffing my desire to excel, 
they laughed at my ambitious aspirations.
Believing in my certain failure,
they mocked at my pristine prominence.

Opposing my every insightful debate,
they belittled my confidence.
Rejecting all my appeals for a better life,
they tried-and-tested my tolerance.

"Rising like a phoenix from the ashes,"
I yet out-lasted and out-wore every impediment.
Contradicting this perfidious-treacherous world,
I survived, I excelled, I am self-sufficient.

No denial, no disapproval, no refutation
can ever bring me down,
Traversing all the high and lows, 
combating life's endeavors and conflicts, proudly I wear my crown!

  1. Talk about empowering. Talk about getting you to clench your fist and grin and say no, I can do it, I CAN AND I WILL. STEP ASIDE! I AM BECOME DEATH, DESTROYER OF WO- wait, no…

    Loved it and I usually don’t like poems that are this positive, but something in the way that it is put (beautiful, to the point but also with enough flair to last for days) is just wonderful.

  14. So when I read a poem and it sounds like it is from a book of poetry, I would say you definitely wrote something great. Congrats, loved it! 5 for 5. (One of my tattoos is of the phoenix rising, and this poem reflects why I got it!!!) 💕😘😊

          1. That’s so not cool.I won’t ask, you deserve a pass anyway. 😘 Did you happen to get my email, or was that messed up as well. (If so I can resend it)

          2. I haven’t been able to access my e-mail yet! Trying to figure out everything – please gimme a day or two. I promise, I’ll check it out as soon as the problem is rectified.

          3. No worries. I’m not pushing. Take your time. Figure that stuff out. It’s so much more important than an email. 😁
