Wounded: A poem from my collection of poetry: Poetry from a Graduate's Notebook

Here is a sample of a poem I wrote within my poetry collection which I have been working on for 2 years now. I am almost completed the collection and still in working process.

Wounded

Beat down.

Broken down.

Hurt.

Wounded.

That is what you left me.

Actions and words are like weapons

That pieced my heart and soul.

Beat down.

Broken down.

Hurt.

Wounded.

You left me out there to bleed

And embarrassed

In front of the world.

Beat down.

Broken down.

Hurt.

Wounded.

Will I stay down forever?

Be a victim.

Wounded.

NO!

I shall put myself up

And let my wounds and pain

Take the best of me.

I will be stronger than ever.

Beat down.

Broken down

But not my heart.

I will care and treat my wounds

And the scars they will leave

Will be a sign of what happened

And what it will become.

Become a stronger

Unique

Brave

Daring

Individual.

The fire will never die inside.

Wounded

But not left for dead.
