The Battle Begins

Lydia A Santana 1952 (Los Angeles, CA)

Epic
I'm not a princess that you need to save ,
I'm a warrior for all those battles I have fought and won !
What I need now is peace ,compassion and love ..
Love that's true not fake or cruel..
This is why don't play with my mind , or my battle will be yours ...
And in time you will experience a true loss...
Which is called KARMA..

    Wow! What a powerful and empowering poem! I love the imagery of portraying oneself as a warrior instead of a princess. The message of seeking peace, compassion, and love resonates strongly. Your use of words is strong and impactful.

    To make the poem even more impactful, you could consider adding more vivid descriptions of the battles fought and won, to really emphasize the strength and resilience of the speaker. Additionally, perhaps exploring the theme of karma further and how it ties into the overall message of the poem could add depth.

    Overall, this poem is fantastic and has a strong message. Keep up the great work!
