Strength

I've been branded and labeled
Tagged and abused
Twisted,tempted
Then lied to and used
I've been brushed to the side
With my heart on my sleeve
Spoken to words you can never retrieve
I've been thrown out,sold out
Betrayed by a friend
Tested and broken
Again and again
I've been pushed to the edge
Then left there to die
All this and still
I can hold my head high

Excellent! Being able to maintain a positive and uplifting attitude after all that is a sign of great strength.

Thanks for your review. Yeah, sometimes it can feel as though the universe is against you until you realize that life is what you make of it. These things actually did happen to me but I am secure in my own skin. Thanks again.

Mr Lopez, this Poem reads like lyrics, they have me humming a tune. The words are precise, clever and in tune. It is a triumphant Poem about victory. Victory. In the end you win. I'm with you friend.

No matter life's travails, life goes on. Put across well in this poem.
