The Shore Swan

They had known her worth & extracted their pound of flesh,

Her knowledge, skills, ideas, even the design of her dress!

They said she's no good, after they stole & their work was done!

Instead of rewarding/mentioning/acknowledging her contribution!

They thought they had smartly driven her to the edge of the shore,

They wished the waves would consume & end her story forever!

The sun was setting, and the view was great that fateful day.

She knew she was no longer a pawn in their game anyway.


Though they stood and watched, wishing the very worst for her there,

She continued her rich magic, being her best version without a care.

Surprise of surprise! Her metamorphosis made them swear & sigh!

Their "Ugly Duckling" had turned into a graceful "Swan" flying high!

What do you feel about the jump from the shore to the sky?

  1. Beautifully written it’s powerful, and cathartic and relatable - being exploited, cast aside, yet ultimately rising above the toxicity to thrive.🙌
