Poem: “Reach That Light”

* Reach That Light *

I wrote this to motivate myself everyday and everybody else who is going through hard times struggling

You are the success to your own achievements

Don’t ever, ever, never forget that!

You have come a far way to turn back

Just keep on moving you are almost there

Life is full of surprises and it definitely ain’t fair

You are in a long race so stay focused and keep runnin’

Don’t look back

Ease up

Prepare for what’s comin’

Let nobody get to you ‘cause you are who you are

Not who they think you are

You are created for a purpose

For something really special

Brave of the bravest you are

I know that for sure

You are genius as well

Don’t let your talents pour down the drain for nothin’

‘Cause that’s a waste

Let your abilities soar

One day you will find your place

Right now you are goin’ through a dark tunnel

Learnin’ meanings of life

Almost to your destination you will reach that light

With God in your mind

Your spirit and your soul

Everything is goin’ to be alright

You will win this fight for sure

    Thank you for this encouragement! I love the ending lines, “with God in your mind, your spirit, and your soul, you will win this fight for sure.” I pray that we all remember this during our darkest times. Keep writing!

    Hi!
    Thank you for sharing your words of encouragement. I feel that you not only draw power from having this poem as a reminder to yourself, but you also draw encouragement from knowing that you were able to brighten someone else’s day with this poem. I also like that you acknowledge the struggles that you will face since life is definitely not all sunshine and rainbows, but that working through these adversities will make you a stronger person. Keep up the great writing!
