Survival Strategy

I fell several times
and walked again

-somehow
people choose to remind me
of my fall

-I choose to run
away from them
towards life
towards the future

-all it takes to survive
is eliminating
negativity
people or ideas
or both

  1. This is such a powerful and courageous piece! 🌟

    I love how your words carry both vulnerability and strength—acknowledging the falls, yet focusing on the resilience to rise and move forward. The contrast between what others choose to remind you of and what you choose to embrace makes the poem deeply empowering.
