Description                     You

laughed at me because
     
                                                       I

                             was

{helplessinlovefrailfragile}

     weak.

                       I

hate being weak

[and getting laughed at]

/so

    I

{beratedscreamedvoweddetermined]

          told myself that I
            
                             would not be weak.

And so:

I trained, I saw, I conquered, I questioned, I hoped, I grew.

And so:

You watched, you stopped, you heard, you listened, you understood.

    ---and like a rose---

                  I unfurled

                              and transformed before your very eyes.

Oh, gosh, I know you posted this a while back.

But I searched "Rose," because at the moment, I needed to find some consolation. My Grandmother's middle name was Rose, and this...

This made me cry. Gah, I'm a sap. It fits her situation perfectly. Perfect.

This is beautiful, thank you, thank you, thank you for writing this. May I hang it on my wall? I will definitely credit you.

I like how the flow somewhat incorporates the writer's train of thought. For some, it may seem to disrupt the work, but this one seems to hold together pretty well.

And the last lines? Genius.

Thanks This was one of those things that once it strikes you, it doesn't leave.

Haha, the last line was the whole reason why I wrote it Thanks again

i love the visual aspect of this poem. the parts where you string together words are especially powerful. i like watching the narrator grow through the poem as well.

This is really cool. I like how the words in the brackets in between the other parts read like flashes of emotion that the speaker is feeling.
