Banshee

YOUR spirit feels all,
which your heart cannot take
 
YOUR soul weeps in silence,
when your smile is fake
 
YOUR fears are ALL real,
YOUR anger is just
 
When those who swore to protect you fail,
YOU rely on yourself, AND then revenge becomes MUST 
 
 
 "BANSHEE"; definition-
WOMAN, WAILING SPIRIT

I like the allegory of the person disturbed and wailing inside as a banshee. It feels right. You capture some of the elements of such a struggle in this and the first three stanzas were enjoyable, if the rhyme a little 'tense'. I did struggle with the final stanza and in particular the last line.

Wonderful review you have made

I agree about the ending. I have often questioned it....i can't change it now, poetry wasn't meant to be edited right?

I appreciate you reading my poem, and taking time to review.
