Undeterrably Determined

It’s impossible to crush and break a woman who is determined, says Rupa, in this verse, exclusively for Different Truths.

Dare not anyone undermine my determination
Un-underminable is my undeterrable determination!

Vagaries of detrimental word
Dirt from detrimental deed
Ashes of detrimental event
Feel a monumental quicksand

Egging to doubly be more determined
Undeterred by detriments being mined

Determined to soar above struggle
Determined to slay every hurdle
Determined to fight for human right
Determined till every wrong is right
Determined to sustain, not be shy
Determined to court courage sky high

Unpredictable outcomes cannot be pre-determined
But mindset, attitudes, decisions can be determined.
