"Broken but bold enough to bounce back" Poetry Contest

Never imagined an emotional blow
Could crush a bubbly gorgeous girl's world,
For whom the universe was an enchanting lore,
With bird's songs and flowers in the vase!

                       The garden turned barren,
                      The swing stopped moving,
                          Koels stopped cooing,
                          Roses lost their hue.

Sky no more looked azure,
Raindrops did not whisper love,
All she faced was fear and harshness,
No compassionate faces around.

With hurt, suffering and cruel abuse
Inflicted on a tender mind,
Delicate petals of her heart
Didn't crumble, turned resolute inside.
A promise she made to her dear ones,
Never will she bow to an oppressor,
Strength and courage she imbibed
From the family who fondly raised her.

                     Like a Sphinx she rose from the ashes,
                    She remained unflinching in any disaster.
               As a grass blade survives,
                        Rough wind could not shake her prowess,
              She is never a victim, because her soul is unparalleled .
