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.
ReplyDeleteI love the empowering message here. Turning the very bricks meant to weigh her down into the foundation for something stronger
ReplyDeleteI love it... and everyone must get the chance to have their own happily ever after!
ReplyDeleteYes, it sometimes does take great effort and skill, but it is possible to resist others' negative opinions.
ReplyDeleteI love turning. a mountain into a molehill !
