@etherealityWarrior of Honor, look what I've doneWith chains that bound your just, hungry soulWith chains that covered your warpaint, your wounds"One day we shall win" the Master would sayAnd his pride would grow every time he walked awayAs he saw you find paths in lands you don't recogniseIn all but one detail world followed your visionYour brothers and sisters remain in your mansionYour dreams and desires now fuel their mindsRest in peace now, for you've been avengedAll that you wanted, it's what I arranged:The vile inquisitor afraid of usLoving Wise Woman, look what I didWith enemy scratching your well-prepared shieldsAnd loop on unguarded neckCarefully studying and deeply thinkingDone what minds brightest were never achivingLed your family to happinessWith virtues of mind wiped off every tearWhich ever was shed by one you found dearAdmiring good and knowledgeResting in hearts of your familyYou'd propably laugh at a fool like meBut man you died for gave me strenghtQueen of the World, look at my doingBlood like marzipan always is flowingJust the way you liked itWearing the armor of divine mercyHappiness greatest for you endlesslyPure chaos, pure untamed pleasureThen you found a way to crazy enlightmentThrough love, ideals and tears defenslessSurvived, knew it was worth itI tried to copy all that you didBut fate left me helpless and punished my greedTurly, you are the luckiestThough I will never be what you areWith fog in my mind and weakness in heartI told her "I'm not afraid"And even if for not for anything else, for that they shall know my nameOkay, I do realize this isn't any good at all. But I did my best to portray my thoughts, even if I'll pay for it with few points less. Yesterday I told my abusive mother I'm not afraid of her. Something my past selves mentioned in the poem could never do, despite how much better they were in every aspect. It was hard, but I did it. Nothing else from my life fits the topic equally well.

@asteria Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I assure that it is in no way "not good at all"

@ethereality You think so? Thanks a lot â¤ī¸

@asteria It's definitely a mouthful, but it portrays well your inner emotions. Would this do? Warrior o' Honor, look what's done,Chains that bound just, hungry souls,Chains that cover wounds and warpaints,"Once we'll win" Master says,And his pride grows each time he walksAs he sees you find paths in lands you don't recognizeIn all but one detail Worlds followed your visionBrothers and sisters remain in your mansionDreams and desires now fuel their mindsRest in peace now, for you've been avengedAll that you wanted, it's what I arranged:Vile inquisitor afraid of usLoving Wise Woman, look what I've done,With enemies scratching your well-prepared shields,And a loop on an unguarded neck.Careful studying and deep thoughtsHave done what mind's brightest never achieved And led family to happinessWith virtues of mind tear wiped away,Which ever shed by ones found dearAdmiring good and knowledgeRest in the hearts of your familyYou'd probably laugh like a fool at me,But knowing men you died for gave me strengthQueen of the World, look at my doingBlood like marzipan always flowingJust the way you liked itWearing armor of divine mercyHappiness greatest for you endlesslyPure chaos, pure untamed pleasureThen you found a way to crazy enlightmentThrough love, ideals and tears defenslessSurvived, knew it was worth itI tried to copy all that you didBut fate left me helpless and punished my greedTruly, you are the luckiestThough I'll never be what you areWith fog in my mind and weakness in heartI told her "Afraid I'm not"And even if for not for anything else, for that they shall know my nameSorry to offend but may i post this on my profile page? It touched my soul. From the bottom of my heart. đ

@ethereality Here's my go- it's not the best unfortunately âšī¸FlyI look at the sky and thought I'd never be goodAdmiring the birds that soar so highTwisting, turning, diving through cloudsKnowing I cannot be as talented as them.But a bird does not fly each and every timeEven the falcon will sometimes make a fallBut what makes them strong is they pick themselves upAnd they try, try, try, again to fly, fly, fly.I've been batted down by the wings of fearMore than I can countDoubt and fear weighing me downDragging me inside a gorge.But it was this that lifted me upI finally understood what I sawThat in the face of competition You don't compete- you enjoy it.The churning ocean in my stomach drove me forwardCourage burning brightI wasn't afraid of making mistakesAnd it pushed me further.I felt as exhilarated as the swooping eagleFree, flying, no doubt pushing me backFor I learned the hard way That fear won't hold you back- your own self will.With every smash and clear and diveI felt more of myself coming togetherAnd I knew I was not here to winI was here to give a fight.So while this poem may not be a work of artNor will it win this galaBut I'm happy to share the experience on court Just ask, and I will narrate how the wings while I play really feel....Like I said above, this definitely isn't the best I've done..... but there's a big story behind it. If anyone's interested in what it is, I'd be really happy to share â¤ī¸

@skyfall4 I'm interested. Tell the story.
asteria • 19 May 2018 at 9:18 PM
@playermocha345 Of course you can, I feel very honored by this. Hadn't expected someone would like my poem. Thank you very much â¤ī¸ As for your version, it has less rhymes but I like the style of it đ

@asteria I like to sing when doing something, following a tune that's stuck in my head, yours is wonderful originally. It's a bit long to sing out.
skyfall4 • 19 May 2018 at 9:24 PM
@playermocha345 Welp basically I play badminton, and well, the common perspective is that it's a competition. Actually though, I learned through the hard way, it's actually quite the opposite. It's honestly a battle of whose fitter and mentally tough- there aren't people that are better, only those who are consistent. Plus, if you have a winning mindset, you'll have an 70% chance of losing, because you put pressure on yourself. If you enjoy it and just have fun (not too much fun, mind you xD) you play better, as you're not afraid of losing. People in the audience can tell what you're feeling, and I've found that just playing and being yourself often gets you to amazing places â¤ī¸There's a whole bunch more, but then there'd be too much to type o.o
Deleted • 19 May 2018 at 9:25 PM
@skyfall4 You could type in your own time but why birds? Because they are free? To fly in the skies?
asteria • 19 May 2018 at 9:32 PM
@playermocha345 I see. Now I feel even more honored â¤ī¸ â¤ī¸@skyfall4 Although I don't play any sport games, the advice to put joy over victory is good for many things đ I'm glad someone wrote about it.
skyfall4 • 19 May 2018 at 9:38 PM
@playermocha345 Oops another part I forgot to mention xD Basically it's the general perspective of the "really good players" . We think they are so good, but we sometimes dont really believe they had to go through stages of mistakes. It's also how free you can be when playing, when you start to enjoy it.@asteria Thanks đ â¤ī¸

@crown As somebody who severely struggles with self-image, i really loved your poem â¤ī¸A little backstory: Cancer just won't leave my mom's side of the family alone. I lost my uncle to it (bladder), my Oma beat it, but it's back (Breast), and my best friend's grandma (Who is basically like my 3rd grandma) has it (Esophagus). So my poem is organized in introduction, section about my Uncle, section about my Oma, section about my best friend's grandma, closing. Sorry my vocab got so limited during the end, I'm about to go to a parade so I had to write fast.CancerCell growth, cell divideWhy do you cause so many to die?Poked fun at relentlessly,To relieve us temporarily,From the pain.Tragedy struck in 2005,When my family took a dive,My uncle Chris was taken,Now he watches from Heaven,As his twin girls head to college.Yet again in 2016, My ill-starred mother crestfallen,A call from home,Caused her distraught mind to roam,To places unimaginable. 2018, to top it all off,Weight loss and never ending cough,Leads to chemo and surgeryBut lots of expectancy,To meet future grandchildren.Cell growth, cell divide,Keeping love divine,You may think you're vigorous,But that's where you're amiss, And we will triumph in this war.

@marner I'm glad you liked my poem â¤ī¸ I hope you overcome your struggles with body image đ (I saw you used present tense, so I'm guessing it's still kinda going on?) I think your poem is great, and that you're able to open up about such things â¤ī¸ Sorry for your losses also, and I'm glad you've or are overcame/coming it đ

[Currently writing my poem, this is not my entry yet, I'm still writing my poem and shifting parts around. Just a mini rough draft sneak peak sorta.]I'm in the middle of writing my poem, still need to move a lot around and find some better wordings, write more, etc, etc but I wanted to see if anyone online [that ends up reading this] if they could guess what it may be about. This is only a small portion of the rough draft and will most likely be changed a bit with the rest before I submit my entry but here's a lil' part-"Bridge of imagination"-Waking up and there she saw,a strangers face oh so raw.Pounding heart but then she blinked,the image gone without a link.There she sat left to ponder, "was it real was he there, or just my mind let out to wonder?"Questions unanswered,time gone by fast,until it happened again so vast.Doll in hand as she hugged it tight,but then she saw it's face shift right.Another fear that day was written. -A bit butchered and like I said I'm probably gonna change a bit of it so it sounds better. Anyways, just wanted to see if anyone could guess what it may be about before I finish and explain it myself [with my entry]? Now I shall go return to my writing.

@mechanicalheart It's a trick of the eye, when you feel something unnatural you turn to look. It scares you as you fear the dark. You see things that shouldn't be and you feel even more afraid, a child's mind thinking of subtle movements that are frightening. But is it real or is it truly a trick of the eye? Shivers run up your spine, you're afraid to stay. In human company, are they alien or not? A child's fear of the unknown world.

@ethereality When will we get the results of this round? I will not be on at all until Monday because I'm going out with some friends, so my poem for the next poem might scrape it close to late, depending on the schedule. Great poems everyone, and good luck â¤ī¸
ethereality • 24 May 2018 at 5:14 PM
@marner soon sorry busy
mechanicalheart • 24 May 2018 at 5:57 PM
@etherealityHere's my entry, couldn't quite figure out how to make this one fit properly so it's not going to be the greatest thing ever and definitely not my best work but hopefully if I do manage to somehow carry on I'm sure I'll be able to make up for it. ^^ Anyways, I don't believe I'm late because I'm pretty sure it was 7pm when it was supposed to be due but anywho, hopefully I'm not and here's my entry before I keep rambling on-Bridge of imagination~Waking up and there she saw,a strangers face oh so raw.Pounding heart and then she blinked,the image gone without a link.There she sat left to ponder, "Could it be my mind out to wonder?"Questions unanswered as time went by fast,until it happened again so vast.Doll in hand as she hugged it tight,but then she saw it's face shift right.Another fear that day was written,all because of her mind's misken.Restless nights and days been lost,she couldn't see right from wrong.Sitting still she questioned reality.Could it be real or just her minds tragedy?Years of diffusion that started disappearing confusion,as she learned the misfortuneof her minds soon found fortune.A mind full of fantasy now her ecstasy.[Tried to keep the rhyming going, pretty sure this is 15+ lines.]
