soulful heart - RESILIENCE

I watche'd with horror
As she fell across the fateful boulder
But she got up with virtuous honour.
How could she, I wonder-
Not let her path hinder but leaped on it as ladder.
Then was plunged in stormy waters
But she struggled to shore with valiant skill
How could she, I wonder-
Not just sulk but overcome the insecure cheaters.
I saw her stung by arrows of chauvinist ego
But she picked ‘em out with dousing smile
How could she, I wonder-
Not double down but rebound as echo.
Then was emotionally caged within walls suffocating
But she broke out bright windows with loving heart
How could she, I wonder-
Not perish a waste but chisel herself sparkling.
She was molested, condemned, lashed, victimized
Since ages churned through wheels of vissitudes
But she emerged vibrant, imperial and galvanized
And the worldly fools that call her
Of the two at life's helm - she's the weaker
How could they, I wonder-
For brave is the one who perseveres
Than the one who ever retaliates.
