POETESS: RAFIYA SYEED
ANALYSIS BY: TARIQ AHMAD TARIQ
The poetess has preferred didactic tone to give vent to her emotions on the canvas. She seems to have visualized somewhere the silver lining encircling the darkest clouds while facing the life headlong.
The caption "UNBROKEN" connotes that there has never been smooth going for the big achievers, but they have resolved to go tough against all odds.
From the narrators perspective the crises, which the prospective achievers undergo, could have depressed them to the core but their approach of acting brave and standing rock strong helped them spell out success. Now when the storms have retreated, they have a reason to tell the curious world the talisman of their victory.

The poetess, as I suppose, shares her experience how tasty had been the fruits of the endurance after she declined to yield before the ills and pains inflicted upon her by destiny.
The poetess presumably feels that the world belongs to those who dare to dream big, and that every big dreamer is shown a price tag for his coveted dream. Big things never come easily. They demand endurance and sacrifice.
Whispering her musings to her readers, the poetess explains that every prospective achiever wants to touch stars. In order to reach the stars, they need to spread their wings and stretch them wide to their full expanse. The poetess has created visual images of the hazy and rough runway, take off, soaring in sky, etc. In order to have a flight in the skies the dreamer has to come on the runway. The runway is invariably hazy and rough. It has always a risk factor for the dreamer whose first step is to take off. The valiant is never deterred by the wrath of the sky. His dream of soaring in the expanse of the sky keeps him afloat and he makes tough decisions. The poetess wants all the readers to polish their thinking every moment. The poetess instructs the readers to keep on toes if they want to get noticed. She wants them to polish their thought processes every moment. Reiterating that there is never a smooth go for a big dreamer, the poetess dares to impress upon them that the road is inflicted with pain and hardships, and that they need a steel will in order to keep going. They need not get disheartened because future belongs to those who dare to endure with single minded devotion, and keep consistent on their hard working approach. Hope is the unfailing weapon in the hands of these mighty dreamers. The unbeaten flight of the big dreamers help them discover all horizons, and scale all the skies getting visible to them during the course of their flight.
Conclusion:The poem "UNBROKEN" is a well knit poem. The poet has embraced the style of "H. W. LONGFELLOW", and has put across her message in a way that it creates a telling effect.
Kudos to the poetess!
