PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I have become the results of other people’s short comings.

And I have allowed myself to become the consequence of what I was due.

I took the easy way out so many times because I was scared.

There have been bumps and obstacles that have hit me and caused me to fall.

I have walked with the shadows so many times I have forgotten what it is like

to walk in the light.

I have one dream that I have held for many years.

I have tried so many times to reach for this dream.

And every time I met failure.

And I gave up.

And I have found myself if hell.

But I am not going to sit here and wallow in my failure.

I will fight my way back into the light.

If it takes me years so be it.

If leaves my hands scraped and bloodied from crawling so be it.

I see the inches I need all around me.

I choose to sacrifice what I am to become what I want.

I see what I have been through and give thanks for it the good and the bad.

I see now that I know nothing when it comes to the vastness of creation.

I have lost much; that is true.

Nothing can be gained without giving something up first.

What I am giving up is what is comfortable. 

Staying in the state of depression in what I know.

It is the fear of what is beyond it that scares me beyond everything else.

So I call on the hero that exists within me.

To give me strength,

To make me the person I am meant to be,

To allow me to walk with pride.

Show me the true meaning of strength.

Show me that in the midst of this storm I am not alone, Ever.
