MUSE has been with me since I was a child, life has tried to squash, smash, shatter, stifle my spirit; cut to pieces my words. The ruin of my existence, the torment, pain- I take, I give it all to MUSE to make words beautiful; to deaden my deep sorrow. Each day I look down into my soul for inspiration, hoping to find the end of my forever, ever torture; thus a poet was born. ______________________ February 25, 2017 Poetry/Verse/The MUSE Will Not Be Subdued Copyright Protected, ID 17- 880-057-0 For the contest, What Doesn't Kill Us (in 75 Words) Sponsor, Laura Loo First Place

Every emotion inspires an action from the poet it's usually manifested in the work, and from you it's so beautifully penned, congratulations BW on your victory...

Beautifully written, Constance. I agree with you, to write poetry we must share the sorrows and deepest emotions. If they are repressed, the pen is too. Lots of luck in the contest...hugs, Rhonda

I was told once that to be a poet you must suffer, yes, I think that is true, you need to pull from that place of sorrow and with it, create beauty.
