[hometext] => This poem is for all those who struggle dealing with adversity. That happens to be my greatest enemy and I feel like it's tearing me apart and occasionally worsens my depression.
[bodytext] => (In the midddle of the night after a troubling nightmare, Donavan goes to the bathroom and takes quite a long look at himself in the mirror. Suddenly, his reflection starts talking to him about his greatest problem - adversity.) Reflection: Adversity's tryna take over you Starting with your mind If he enter sanity's castle That's the end of the line! Donavan: He's already on our property The ground of our estate It's inevitable, he Will infiltrate But to stop him, it's not too late Reflection: Wait...listen Donavan: That's him (The lightbulb implodes, and a few seconds later, the dark is illuminated by the mirror with 5 cracked reflections of him. However, these reflections are the beings from his nightmare only he sees them as himself. He is in disbelief for a few seconds but then his face expression goes from shocked to serious.) Donavan: Whoaaa! Reflections: What's wrong Don't like yourself I don't blame you If I was you I wouldn't like myself! You're a waste A disgrace A failure And a Born Mistake! You're the reason Mommy got into drugs You're the reason she's dead Do you really believe those saying it's not your fault Of course it is, get that through your head! (After hearing those words, Donavan becomes furious. He speaks normal tone at first, but as he goes on the rage in his voice is beyond noticeable.) Donavan: I'm no longer afraid You're nothing more than a fear to face So here's my face And watch me lift you over my shoulders like the world's weight! Make no mistake Full responsibility for that I take But she still loves me Even to this very day As for you I'm stonger than you Your words mean nothing to me But mines do, so listen fool If you're an obstacle I'll overcome If you're college homework You will get done Because I'm tryna graduate Use you like an escalator and escalate Like an elevator and elevate To an undiscovered level Adversity Adversary You are an enemy But a temporary As I speak I see you tearing No more I'm scared of you Now you are scared of ME! I'm high authority So I salute myself There are 6 of me So be gone if you aren't MYSELF!!! (The mirror's illumination dies and deteriorates back to whole. The dark becomes light and all Donavan sees...is one man with one goal.)

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
