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

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!
Thank you for the encouragement and thoughtful words!
Hi there! I really enjoyed reading this poem! It was truly inspiring to see that despite the circumstances, your positive mindset has kept you motivated and that you are using your own experiences to try and help others who may not be so motivated. I think that it gets really tough sometimes to see that there may be a light at the end of the tunnel, and that for some people it can be really hard to remember or acknowledge the fact that hard times don’t last forever. I believe this poem will truly be helpful and that even if it helps just one person, that person will then go on to teach the same lesson they learned to the people around them. I think that it’s great that you continue to remind yourself that one day, things will get better. Even on the days that you don’t believe it fully, reading this will help to slowly change that mindset. Thank you for sharing! I wish you all the best!
This poem is so inspiring and uplifting. I think it is amazing you want to not only bring yourself up, but to help others as well.
