Inspirational Poetry and Pictures: Finding Hope in a World of Doubt

Sometimes, things don't work out as you've planned ~ 
and often times, that's for the best. 

Sometimes, all you need to do is keep trying.

Nobody ever succeeded by being stagnant

"We wouldn't ask why a rose that grew from the concrete has damaged petals - in turn, we would all celebrate its tenacity, we would all love its will to reach the sun." ~ Tupac Shakur

Think Exist Quotes on Tenacity

POEM:

Find Your Light

Eventually

We will all be reduced

To a photograph

So don’t miss out

On one single minute

Of living

Smell the flowers

Bask in the sun

Smile more often

Enjoy your surroundings

Embrace nature

Allow your soul

To flourish

For all its worth

Allow negative people

And negative situations

To roll off you

Ricochet from you

Do not feel guilty

For seeking happiness

Or for fulfilling your dreams

Your life is your own

And you are the only one

Responsible for it

Share the best of you

Be the best of you

So that when it comes time

For your photograph

To be displayed

You know in your heart

That you gave it your all

Have you ever felt like everybody’s feelings EXCEPT your own are valid?

I’ve felt that way since I was a small child.

I would see other children crying and throwing tantrums, while bystanders and parents would coo over them so they would settle down. The minute I demanded my way, people would just stare, blankly, with their mouths agape. I could only imagine they were thinking “How dare she make a rukus!? She’s not entitled to that!”  This has not stopped as I have aged, and believe it never will change. I see full grown adults acting like children and begging for attention – which they always get. The babies of society get everything they want, although are probably resented by their peers for this behavior.

I can say that these experiences have probably made me a stronger adult. I am generally not whiney, except in my blogs lol. I do not expect handouts, or people doting over me. So, if you have ever felt that the world does not take you into consideration, become a stronger person for it. Use this form of neglect and disrespect as a way to prove that you do not need the world’s attention. You are better than that.
