Give a summary on the poem,"Gaining Victory" by Sue Falkner-Wood
Answers
Pain is present in all forms of life right from Unyielding, oppressive, still there.
Someone said that Life is always fair? but its Inhabited by the unwanted
Some are victimised or possessed
Stress can be psychological and to great extent
It can be worst or it can become better by time whatever it may be
Sometimes I blame my parents due to helplessness and fate's betrayal.
In the first stanza the poet is very depressed, she feels an unexplained sadness, she thinks, 'who said life was fair?'.
In the next stanza she counts her losses expressing how she feels no control over he body, her life or her ego whom she feels are vandalized by her depression.
In the third stanza she she feels alienated from other, where they are so happy, healthy and vital while she is sad and alone.
She didn't know what to say or do with her life, she was just existing not living, then one day she sees a mirror and said that it's her life and it's getting late meaning to say that now its time for her to 'live'.
That's when it 'hit' her, she's had enough of being alone and depressed, she wants to lead her life.
She looked for solutions to her problems, she found some hope in her life and longed to be free.
She took account of all things she had left, gradually stopped asking, "Why me?" and began to feel happiness
She reached out to jot, expressing how laughter felt delicous and warm inside, it healed her sadness as it ripled through her body.
She learned to love each day, even in the dark side and disagreements, for within all her heartache she found her cure, called life.
