There will be times
you'll feel lost,
will want to give up
no matter the cost.
You'll find there's times
that will confuse,
making you feel
you can only loose.
But through troubled times
there's one way out,
a way past the hate
and all of the doubt:
Dare to see
what others fear,
look past the problems
you keep so near,
dare to be
what others won't,
don't give in
to their do's and don'ts.

Most of all...
dare to be
the best you can be.


Planning big can be a gamble...I have already rolled the dice!

This was full of great advice. A good message.
The flow was also excellent in here.
Another masterpiece. I'm sure a lot of people could get something out of reading this.
See you around.

I thought the message was great. What a wonderful read!



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Whoa! This was great! It sounds a lot like some of my earlier existential poetry. It sorta put things into perspective for me. "Rise above the crowd and fight!" Beautiful.

Thankyou for sharing. This poem really helped me out a lot!

Hehe I have to admit when I first started reading this the tone of Christina Agularia's song "I turn to you" was in the background but it made it seem even better to read. So I suggest that everyone go out and buy that CD and then read this again while playing that song. It meant alot. Made me smile, which is hard to do. Keep up the good work!!

hmmm ive been lazy lately...
glad i found this because it really gives some good advice:

"But through troubled times
there's one way out,
a way past the hate
and all of the doubt"

This is good advice..
Dont get twisted in problems that, when compared to loving eachother, hold little relevence.. and pay attention to the inner motives of everyones actions and see past the plastic ramparts we all hide behind.. beautiful
