Powerful is the ability to comprehend
What has power over you
To confront the part that hurts
And not give in when all comes worse
It’s an understanding
Of why you do the things you do
What you want from them
And where you think they’ll take you
It’s about going broadband
On senses and feelings
Tuning the heart and training the mind
The parts that make us human
Powerful is a powerful word
It requires wisdom and fragile handling
No use having it exteriorized
Being unsure or reckless on the inside

Those words are so true!
excellent - I love the phrase 'going broadband on senses and feelings'
I like this..."powerful is the ability to comprehend what has power over you...and not give in"
That is true empowerment!
Well done :)
The first two lines are very powerful - like a secret! Nice poem, fine phrases!
Love the photo...the ultimate power when my computer fails to respond to me
the TV when it's thousands of channels offer nothing
Nice poem nice photo
Hi Gilson! Your wisdom shines brightly in this!! I love what you wrote about power and the importance of looking inside our heart and mind to understand ourselves. And your line "powerful is the ability to comprehend/ what has power over you" is brilliant and profound. Well done!

Thanks for everyone’s comments, I really appreciate them! Sometimes I feel powerful, sometimes I feel powerless. And I choose not to give too much credit to neither of both feelings since situations tend to flip around without much warning.
