Greetings, birdie


This is your local Simply Positive Reviewer, here! Your writing has been selected for review, as part of Simply Positive's mission to bring more light on Authors here at WDC!

First Impressions: Hi there, and thank you for allowing me to read and review your writing entitled: "Survival" . I found this to be an impressive poem, a personal manifesto of the person within the poem itself.

All in all, as we grow into new roles in Life, as we take on more responsibilities and take charge of those responsibilities, many things can predictably happen.

In our youth, we often find ourselves in a quandary: if I can think like an adult - I used to reason - why cannot I not BE an adult?

It was tough to accept the Truth involved, but with no steady job nor independent place in which to live, I found it tough to take away the words of my Mother who explained to me that unless certain things were met, unless I met up with all the criterion, in the meantime, I would fit the definition of a kid!

Turns out, she was right.

This poem kind of reminds me of an experience, and though the writing is about the person in the poem, I wonder too if it is not the author's personal experience in life speaking?

Either way, this was a declension, if you will, of a person who - having locked themselves away for long periods of time, now begin to emerge from their inner world. We see a young person now leaving a world of numbness, and emerging into the light so to speak.



Overall Impact: Emerging from that nether world of darkened existence, we now see this person arising, standing "like a tall tree" as the poem itself explains... and this person no longer needs to live a lie, but to live in truth, in a deeper sense of self-worth. It is, after all, a poem...of victory! *Smile*



Errors: I saw no obvious errors here.



Summation: We take to heart the last line or two, where in triumph, the author has allowed themselves the notion that in addition to being beautiful all along, but that in singing such a victory song as this, that there is one very important point that should not be missed;

THEY ARE A SURVIVOR.


In all truth, I hope this writer will continue to author more works like this, such is the human experience that we oftentimes seek to provide clues as to why people make choices the way they do. I know I do. And for that matter, once we have that settled, we make peace with our selves, and from there, go on to live - and learn - in a new existence.


KEEP WRITING!
