Do Not Give Up

You must have heard 
People say
You can't do that right
Do what you may!
Cry a little, try a little
Walk an extra mile
Do not give up your smile

They judge your actions
Repress your thoughts
Mock your failures
Asking questions of all sorts
Explain a little, fight a little
Have your moments of solitude
Do not give up your attitude

Achieving success doesn't always mean
To make an influence
It is to still strive harder
And not to lose your essence
Fall a little, crawl a little
But do get up with your head held high
Do not give up till you reach the sky

It may happen so
Your desires may fall at your feet
Lose not your hope
Make sky your limit
Wish a little, aim a little
Though you may fall apart at the seams
Do not give up your dreams.....

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

A very beautiful written poem, how rightly you said that we shouldn t give up, it s true that people will always try to discourage us, make fun of our dreams, what s best, firstly don t share your feelings as people will only laugh and secondly have faith that you ll succeed and you should have potential to make it turn into a reality, wel ome to ps, I m sure that you ll love your stay here
