Finding Myself

Finding myself again 
My mind is awash in uncertainty.
I feel terror welling up in my heart.
I do, however, see that I must escape.
I was so relieved to re-discover myself.
I'm trying to have the guts to be who I am.
In order to muster the courage to be strong,
I want to be the person I was supposed to be.
Certainly,  I have answered the call.

The Courage I Need

The courage I need

I'm standing here with my courage in my palm.

ready to confront the other land.

My will is sincere, my heart is powerful,

I won't flinch or regret it.

My bravery leads me through the darkness,

It enables me to tackle the battle with more vigour.

When I'm weak, it helps me stand.

When I feel weak, it gives me hope.

My sword and armour are my courage.

When I'm feeling unsteady, it helps me stand.

Navigating the storm

A challenge so bold,
A journey so long,
A story untold.
The wind and the rain,
The thunder and the hail,
The darkness of night,
The fear that will prevail.
But courage will rise,
And strength will be found,
A light will appear,
To guide us around

Struggles

Struggles come in many forms,
Some are manifest, some are hidden,
But no matter what the shape,
They can be hard to bear and seem unending
The path of life is never easy,
It's full of twists and turns,
But if we keep our heads held high,
For we can overcome any obstacle,
We can make it through the struggle.

Hope To Rise Again

Hope to rise again 

Rise up, ye who are tired.

Out of the pit of despair,

Use hope as a compass.

You should pray for courage.

Observe the horizon,

Do not give up,

Because hope will give you courage,

Your cup will be filled with bravery.

Never fear, and have courage.

Because hope never dies,

You'll be glad you did,

and assist you in ascending.

So, my weary soul, get up.

Catch dreams early

The stars in the night sky are like dreams,
Such brightness and height,
We must make every effort to encircle them.
to snag them before they take flight.
Dreams are like birds in the sun in the morning.
So unafraid and brave,
They must be seized before they vanish.
so that we might adopt them.
Dreams resemble fish in a vast blue ocean.
elusive and uncommon. 
We must embrace and cherish it.

Self discovery

I set out on a journey 
To explore the depths of me
To know who I am,
And what I'm supposed to do.
As I made my way through the valleys,
climbed the tallest summits,
I battled my personal demons,
I overcame my own fears as well.
I found strength in my courage 
And courage in my heart.
I discovered a new me.

A dream far away

a distant dream,
a far-off hope,
a wish I can't touch
But I cope.
a hope that is unattainable,
a persistent yearning,
A vision I don't completely understand,
But I still believe 
an unattainable dream,
A yearning that won't go away,
an image I can't quite make out,
But I still try

Making choices

The routes we choose are choices.
The paths that take us to our destiny.
To save our life, we must make intelligent decisions.
on the choices we ultimately make.
We can decide to be courageous and resilient,
Or just go along for the ride.
We have the option to be kind and sincere.
Or you could be truthful and act selfishly.
We can decide to learn and be sage,
Alternately, go the stupid route and unlearn
