Still Standing

It has equipped with opportunities It has moulded with realities I t has grown with maturities It has conquered with honour It is sweet as the red grape It is sour as the lemon juice It is angered as the lion It is big as the buffalo It has received praises, still more to come It has lived, still living It has given love, still loving It has been around, still exists

I really like the fact that you use 'it' instead of I or something like that. I also like the it isn't negative at all, although it's a heavy theme. I loved experiencing the journey throughout the poem, until the end 'still exists'. I think it's perfect to end with that. It's very short but all-saying. The title really helps me to understand the deeper meaning of the poem, and I think it really fits. Please keep writing. I like your style and I hope to read some more poems from you.
