Alexis Y. Poet Free verse

A Ha Moment

Sometimes I feel lost and unappreciated
I ponder why I am here?

Sometimes I look for approval from
others.
I want someone to give me a pat on
the back saying everything will be ok.

Life can be a struggle and so terribly
hard. 

What you do?

Allow yourself to mistakes and learn from
them. Let those mistakes become your
victories.

We all ponder why we're here sometimes. I think
that's normal. But when I'm bombarded with those
thoughts and questions, I remember what I know:
I'm a daughter, a mother, and a sister and etc. It
humbles me to be the best daughter, mom, sister
that I can be. It may take a lifetime to get an 
A HA moment to realize why we're here and what our
purpose is, in the meantime be optimistic and do
what you know! And finally pat your own self on the 
back and be your own number 1 fan and cheerleader. 
When no-one is around your “inner” approval will see
you through and it will get you through life's ups downs.
