#Overwhelming resilience

Beautiful!
I'm excited by the concept of archaic diction. Each word feels so unique and out-of-the world. I believe you have a superpower to write poems like these. Keep going, superhero!
Things i liked about the poem-
"All that befalls me is laughter and ridicule". This line connected with me so easily. I know that feeling of being ridiculed in front of everyone when you think you're worthy of something.
But my dear,
Let it be known
The hunter doesn't care,
If you're happy or not,
Wanting to use you
Only for their need.
"Perhaps this dreadful battle comes with reparations for its lasting distress and turmoil." I don't think you could describe the human nature more beautifully than this line! There's a quote from Bhagavat Gita , saying you should work hard irrespective of the results. You shouldn't expect to be felicitated for your hardwork. But in real life, we as humans can't follow it. So, expecting something to be returned for your hardwork is the greatest truth of human nature.
" Thou mayst plot, but know I shall overcome." This is so resilient. It speaks the concept of the poem in volumes.
The ending is fantastic, the speaker taking control of herself again, and letting go of the past.
Well, there isn't anything about the poem that I didn't like. Tbh, I had to ask someone else to translate this poem into modern English for me to understand. However that's my flaw, not yours.
Be known that you're an antique and beautiful poet who despite the pressure of the modern world, seems to stay untouched and raw.
Keep writing!
Thank you so much for all the support and encouragement
I greatly appreciate it
I used to think that my poems were not worthy but you are one of the few who think otherwise thank you
