The Heroine

They gave her poison- one drop each day.

Poisoning and killing her was their game.

Poison was served in a myriad of ways-

Like doubts, slander, negativity, blame...


The bricks & brickbats collection grew tall,

She felt choked & trapped, with no clue.

The mountain seemed insurmountable,

She did not know how to exit & what to do.

That's when she decided to take charge-

And make a molehill out of the mountain!

Her life- she could make it small or large!

Using those negative bricks, accounted gain! 


Building her life bit by bit, making the most-

Turning around the mountain to a molehill!

Heroine was recognised, & all raised a toast!

Negative to positive- possible with effort & skill!


Linking with Poets and Storytellers United- Friday Writings#247- write poetry or prose, which takes a negative concept and turns it into something positive.

  3. Very nicely done and quite an insightful twist to the mountain/molehill cliche.

Your words mean a lot to me.
