go back to writing s**t

go back to writing s**t

A Poem by breakthebrokenone
"

I had a message yesterday from someone telling me to go back and write some more s****y poetry. so I thought instead of letting one persons opinion discourage me, I will use it to make me rise.

"
"'Go back and write 
some more 
s**t"
They said
trying to discourage me.

Trying 
to make me feel 
useless

Trying
to make me BELIEVE
that my gift
was not powerful 
or encouraging
or a strength
or a voice of reason
and clarity.

"Your words
have no effect"
They screamed

trying to make me 
tremble
and cower at their 
obscenities

Trying
trying
trying
trying

but failing

My words have power. 
And I am a voice

But they are so 
      i n t i m i d a t e d
that they  TRY 
and shoot
their ammunition 
of words

 and launch their 
grenades of lies

But they will not 
break me
and my writing
which is 
s**t
