Briana Chapman Poet Blank verse

Now

Just so you know, 
this is not the time to be
sad 
alone 
uneasy
this is the time
to rememeber
what you fought for
what you stood for
what you gave up 
for all the wrong reasons,
according to most
yes you are different
yes you let the battle win
for a while
a long while
but that doesn't mean the war is over
that you can't bounce back
it seems unlikely
it seems un realistic
But rememeber
that's how's its always been 
that's how it will always be
The difference may be 
you don't have someone 
besides you along the way 
to take advantage,
be supportive, 
remind you 
that you can't succeed alone. 
Bring back that fire
that desire
that need to rise above. 
In order to be where you want to be
You cannot give up on the future
you cannot accept 
that major failure
embarrassment 
is the end all
be all
that you cannot 
still feel 
that passion of freedom
independence
of life.
You are worthy
and its ok
you will find a place
you feel at peace
a place you belong
so just keep your head down
keep working hard,
keep believing 
that these lessons you learned 
these times you are experiencing
will show you 
will lead you 
to the people you were meant to meet
to the places you were meant to be 
to the world you were meant to see
not everyone was cut out for luxury
or fame 
or fortune
but if not for different paths
would there not be different thinking?
And don't we all need that?
