WHAT THEY SAW



WHAT THEY SAW WAS JUST A UNHAPPY SOUL,
A GIRL WITH HOPE,
A GIRL THAT HAD BEEN DETACHED FROM HER GOALS,
A GIRL WITH SELF PITY,
AND NO BRIGHT FUTURE,
BUT THAT IS WHAT THEY SAW,
INSTEAD SHE  WAS JUST A BULL,
FILLED WITH FIRE AND RAGE ,
A GIRL WORTH MORE THAN HER DESIRES,
A GIRL THAT COULD ACHIEVE ANY OF HER ENDEAVOURS
A GIRL SO CONFIDENT FILLED,
WITH SUCCESS STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF HERSELF,
BECAUSE WHAT THEY SEE IS THAT GIRL!.

    Wow, this poem is absolutely powerful and inspiring! I love how it challenges the initial perception of the girl and reveals her true strength and potential. It's a beautiful reminder that appearances can be deceiving and that we should never judge someone based on what we see on the surface. The use of strong language, such as "bull filled with fire and rage," adds intensity and conveys the determination and resilience within her. This poem reminds us all that we are capable of achieving great things, regardless of what others may think. It's a truly empowering message that leaves me feeling motivated and ready to take on any challenge. Well done!

    Wow, this is a powerful and captivating poem! I love the enthusiasm and positive tone you convey through your words. Your emphasis on the internal struggle and resilience of the protagonist is truly inspiring. It sends a message about not judging a book by its cover and recognizing the potential hidden within each individual.

    One improvement suggestion I would offer is to explore more specific details or examples to enhance the imagery and make the emotions even more palpable to the reader. This could further amplify the impact of your message. Additionally, consider playing around with the line breaks and punctuation to create a smoother flow and rhythm throughout the poem.

    Overall, your poem showcases a great understanding of the power of perception and self-belief. Keep up the amazing work!
