Wintessa De Guzman Poet Free verse

Failure

She mastered her words
She mastered her ways
She tries to be perfect--
but all goes to waste

Obedience is her virtue
All laws she abide
She walks with patience--
balancing humility and pride

But people judge her,
like they knew her since
That she's always helpless--
beneath her fearless skin

She then believes them
Her confidence drop
Now living in solace--
She wants her heartbeat stop

Wintessa De Guzman October 1, 2017 at 10:46 PM Writing poems motivates me in times of confusions and depression, and I share them to make other people feel that they are not alone. Thank you for making comments.

Aqua Marine September 30, 2017 at 3:24 AM I appreciate the third stanza- yes, even in strength there is vulnerability...but, as the saying goes, some " go for the jugular..." not understanding that an " imperfect " human being who " bares their throat, or belly" understands the dominating need to " put a lesser being in their place..." Seeking solace, is a survival mechanism...I found your words very strengthening....Thank you - they are thoughtful...:-) Wintessa De Guzman September 30, 2017 at 3:31 AM Thank you...
