This is My Lesson to You

This is My Lesson to You

A Poem by Jessica Lima

When things go wrong,

Your world will turn cold...

 Please  stay strong!

And hold on to hope.


It can always get worse,

And life will accommodate.

I know it ain't fair

But learn to appreciate.


Turn empty pans upside-down,

And create your own beat.

Hit it hard using your anger,

But never give in to defeat.


When you are tired...DANCE.

You never know how much you can take.

Only pushing yourself you'll realize

The difference another step can make.

Quite motivational! A good reminder to go the extra mile. Two little notes: "And hold on to hope".....how about 'And on to hope hold" (that way you land the rhyme rather than cheat it....just a thought); "Hit it hard using your anger" is a bit of a mouthful...."with" instead of "using" might work better. Otherwise, you def have a gem here. Well done!

Yeah, that's good decision
This is powerful and uplifting. You could make this entire piece your mantra.
Once upon a time, the Devil was an Angel whose only desire was to be God...so much so, he blind-sided a legion of Angels, deceived them, and took them down, deep into the pits of Hell with him, for an Eternity.
And life moved on.
Brava.

You are wise beyond your years.
Do you know that your outstanding poem can make such a big difference in todays society?
Not only is it engaging, it's also thought provoking and raises questions to improve understanding! It's a lesson, but an easy one to understand, not like a professors lecture...
An amazing piece!
Keep it up
