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.
I like that idea - to turn a mountain into a molehill :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad your mountains can be turned into molehills - beautifully written - Jae
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done and quite an insightful twist to the mountain/molehill cliche.
