Tenacity

I'm stunned by difficulties 

hitting me head on like a storm gust

with all these varied complexities

I have no choice but to adjust

Headstrong I face the fire

that strives to burn me out

My existence has no time to comply

with all these insecurities and doubts 

So throw rocks at my glass facade 

inside i'm a brick wall

I'll watch you take swings at me

but I won't ever crumble and fall

I am tenacity

This poem very much exhorts resilience and defying the circumstances that threaten to overwhelm. The style and rhythm work very well together. I like this

Thank you, I haven't got a chance to check out your work as yet but I will tonight :) been away from the cafe for a while. I appreciate the review and love the way that you describe this piece as something that emphasizes resilience, that's exactly what my hope was for this piece.

i like how this poem advocates strength in the face of adversity...inside i am a brick wall..you may break down my facade, but you will never break me.
