Comprehension

Acceptance of the truth Heard it, comprehended Tears eluded, insisted on suppression Ascended to above it, insisted on overcoming Realized and harnessed my inner power Refused to be a victim Empowered by recognition This was all my doing Inhale release it Can get pass this A blessing but mostly a lesson A shaper of future choices The fact is… it’s cherished This experience so beautiful and heart wrenching Like the sunset breathtaking but fleeting Captured in my mind eyes Stored in the special compartment of the heart Remove the once shiny crown for now it was tarnished Bitter, sweet experience cherished Just before joining the military.

Your first line is powerful, in order to move forward we have to first accept the truth. Line 11 is powerful as well. Blessing are lessons as well, and we should never forget any of our blessings or lessons in life. I love this poem, my favorite one so far of your work I've read.

Nice words, though the comprehensibility beat my little brain of external imagination.

Thank you but I am not a poet. Everything I write is usually very clear and precise. I rarely leaves much for interpetation.
