One of my more rare positive poems.
We go through each day, hanging onto the words of the previous
hoping for some small change; but doing nothing to gain any knowledge of the difference.
Gazing blankly ahead, walking through empty crowds of no one important,
listening only to the harmful thoughts that rob our mind.
We forget to take the time to appreciate the beautiful; the sensations of the world.
The small things that make up so much of who we really are on the inside.
-
We have to find a way to reclaim what we've lost
the smallest indication of the person we used to be; the smiles that have faded.
Maybe all it takes is for us to give the tiniest attempt
we must push through our insecurities, despite the fear of failure.
We have two options; to sit back and idly watch life pass us by
or we can wipe our hands clean, and become the person we were meant to be.
-
Wherever the passion lies, we must no longer let it snooze through the day
it's time to wake it up so it can smell the scents that create all the magnificence.
So it can hear all the beautiful sounds of the colors mixed together;
to feel the vibrations that run through our very beings.
We must create; become what we tell the world we are worth
because we are worth it.
-
No longer are we troubled; we will never be closed-eyed, walking by.
-
Little girl sits and cries for the difference she wishes to make,
a hand to hold, by herself, she stands up proud of everything she is.
She breathes in, gazes around at her world
taking in all the wonder; the beauty.
-
Tired of giving into the nothingness that has surrounded us for so long.
Time to wake up all the possibilities.
We must push away the no's, and simple scream out yes!
Yes, we can!
