This poem shows the unbelievable courage one has to have to speak up ....for injustices and misfortunes.... to share with the world. In particular I admire the strength, the resolve and the determination you express in this last stanza:

"because I know my sad poetry comes
from a very shining soul, and above all
because I know that words do not need
to rhyme all the time to make a better flow,
because all humans deep inside do
believe in perfection, and crave it,
but excellence is what I look for
just to be different and to act
differently, and hence I achieve it.
I will be a better woman,
only for "myself"."

So I took a little liberty to pen a few lines to serve as antidote to sadness to a truly courageous woman:

If I could go back in time
and change that river's course
so that it could flow
where I want it to go
to that land of unlimited imagination
and away from my abomination
it would be lessons worth learning
from my follies and mistakes
that I no longer have to partake
or carry them with me to my grave

You will recognize that the inspiration to these lines came directly from your own sad and touching poem you wrote in the past - (link below for readers). http://www.poems-and-quotes.com/life/poems.php?id=1158679

Kudos to a truly remarkably spirited poetess!

WOW! I'm marvelled the way you convey your biography in a nutshell. Just plain, freelance poem, without sticking to a type nor syllable count and rhythm. You'll fulfill your wishes someday I.S.A., you're already on the verge. Keep the optimism and courage to speak out and be you. I'm out of your words, very touching and relatable one way or the other. Jazakallahu Khairan, blessings always, with love, ;-).
