Strength

"Pretty, pretty please; don't you ever, ever feel. Like you're less than f****n' perfect." - P!nk (F****n' Perfect)

~*~

Tendrils snaking of thoughts that

Haunt my dreams, break me

Down, and hurt you; tremors

Shaking through my body, a

Last grip on my reality.

 

Only a fight is suffice to

Win this war between the

Heart and soul, breaking

Apart any loose thread I

See inside the hope.

 

That din echoes loudly

Inside my mind, whispering

Slowly, "Do what I tell

You to do, or else consequences

Of your life are dire."

 

Refuse to listen, let me

Stand the ground my
Feet have been placed

On; for this life that

I won't give up on.

 

Tear those thoughts away, and

Become more than you

Ever could imagine; you

Could be someone who

Is important.

 

Throw down the things

You once thought could keep

You going, but really

They only help in

Tearing you down more.

 

Remember to keep moving even

If times are rough, they

Try to break you down but

Don't ever let them get

The best of you.

 

Love like you have never

Loved before, and keep the

Strength you possess at

The front of your mind; no

Slip in concentration.

 

Rules for keeping your mind

Somewhat straight, and a

Reminder for all of those

Girls who think they are

Not good enough.

 

No matter your size, your

Heart that's been damaged, or

Your life that's falling apart

Right before your eyes; Remember

This: you are perfect.

Beautiful poem! I loved the last stanza for it's wisdom and learning. The first stanza got me hooked on to the poem. Brilliant flow and impressive use of words. I loved it!
