Life won’t break me

I can carry its burdens
Though the weight may be unbearable

Life won’t break me

Problems will stack up
But I will trudge on

Life won’t break me

I will focus on the joys
I will spread what I know

Life won’t break me

I’m stronger than that
I can deal with these obstacles

Life won’t break me

Life is cruel
Life is unfair and unkind

But life won’t break me

I really think this poem has a lot of potential but for me, the continual repetition of

quote:
Life won’t break me


adds so very little to the peice. If you intend to use repetition in this way then it should reinforce your point but it should also add a new dimension to the poem, if you really just want to make the same point then it might be better to reword that same point a different way. All in all though it was a very pleasant read and you make some very good points and observations. Hope to read more of your work

kool. Short but sweet, in a weird way. Life is cruel, but you learn to live with it...I love the way you think.
