but unbeaten

dusk arising

 

 

in your face i see a wonder
in your eyes a chance to be
in a place i used to long for
a place which always escaped me

but in my heart i hold a feeling
for in my soul burn memories
how i crashed and burned in a living hell
and fell down to my knees

so if i seem a little hesitant
please dont think it that i dont want
and if i seem a little slow to start
i'm only proctecting my beating heart

     battered but unbeaten
                              my beating heart

    Empowering and boosting my morales
    I am scared
    I am hesitant
    To the opportunities life throws at me
    And these lines like an armour
    “ so if i seem a little hesitant
    please dont think it that i dont want
    and if i seem a little slow to start
    i'm only proctecting my beating heart

    battered but unbeaten
    my beating heart”
    Truly inspiring

    Lovely lines and very real and relatable.

  • Rocky Lagou

    Wow the double entendre with the last line "my beating heart" was very clever. This poem is glorious! ✨👏

    That beating heart overcomes all problems in our lives and will go on beating for a very long time.

    A sheltering write, DA, laced with so much solace and comfort for the fragile heart. I love how the emotive message unfurls...

  • Fay Slimm.

    A heart that beats with unbeatable courage and hope comes out tops in this honest account of battering happenings - - a moving write my dear friend.
