    Bent but not Broken

    She was strong like a fortress​

    Fragile as glass but would not break​

    The evil ones hurled her into oblivion, in the hopes that she would never recover​

    The shove into the abyss bent her beyond recognition​

    But they didn't know the power she pocessed​

    In her typical metamorphic fashion, she came out of the nothingness ever more radiant​

    She shined brightly, with sunshine in her smile.​

    Their plot had failed them. ​

    Only those who threw the dagger in her heart would never again be the same.​

    You see, what they didn't know...​

    Although she may be bent,​

    She'll never be broken.​

    i like it, except for some of the wording...

    "Was though she may can be bent"

    is one that stood out... just makes it a bit difficult to read. and i think making new lines for some of those old ones might help too, but i am definitely the type that likes stanzas. i have difficulty keeping up with one long poem.

    anyway :p i do like it. like a fantasy story to tell how a woman gets over broken heart after broken heart (or should i say bent?) coming out even stronger... those that want to beat her down fail miserably because she has such a strong spirit... yeah, it's cool.

    you're right. that one especially sounds choppy after i read it again. i'm gonna change it to 'Although she may be bent, she will never be broken'

    thanks! :)
    peace and love.
