Do not forget June

Do not forget June!
You really need to stop saying that you can’t.
One thing at a time for something that you want.
It’s a matter of perception, be a dreamer!
Do not stop on pursuing for something better.
Hope, be brave and do it with determination.
And do not dwell on the depths of depression.
You defiantly have a purpose on this world.
Though you’d grew older by many years old.
People come, and surely people will go away.
It might be sad but don’t let it stand in your way.
This is the kind of things you have to let go.
People come and go so you need to grow.
It’s because people tend to decide whether to walk away or try harder.
Move on, It’s like in every no from someone is a yes to someone better.
If you are mistaken, you have to admit.
Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it
Learn from it and try again but do not quit.
Remember that you are beautiful in every way.
Made to do the little things significantly every day.
Inspiring people from faraway.
Thankful and serious when it’s time to pray.
All we thought are thoughts.
We just need to express them.
Sometimes we talk from the heart.
but sometimes when we talk we need to be smart.
Sometimes we talk from what we see.
but sometimes we can’t talk because we’re not free.
Sometimes we talk from what we felt
but sometimes we are silent because the damage has been dealt.
This is what we call Life and It’s just the way it is.
Do not forget June!

This is a well-written, clear inspirational message. You use many different ways to convey some upbeat or constructive way to look at the different things that happen in life. Everything about your poem feels comfortable & well-meaning. But I have a different opinion (just my opinion) about inspirational writing. I feel it's better to write in first person & tell a story that illustrates some of the lessons you want to convey. I feel that when you say "you do this & you do that" -- even tho you say this in a well-meaning way, it seems preachy, like you are above the other person, like you know more than they do, so you're telling them how to live. I think most people do not like being told how to live. That's why I prefer an inspirational message to be created by telling a story in first person . . . this is what happened to me & this is how it made me feel & these are the mistakes I made & this is the lesson I learned. A story like this puts you on the same level as your audience, so you are not telling them how to live, but you are sharing your life & your lessons in a more personal way. Many writers who write inspirational stuff often have hurts inside & this is why they want to help other people avoid such hurts. But you can't preach to people & have them avoid hurts. People don't learn until they've actually seen things happen in life. Your poem here is a beautiful message, but it's general. A person who is truly in the dumps will not be able to imagine his/her life in these ways that you describe. When you are depressed, you can't be happy becuz you don't see all this in your viewpoint. That's why telling a story is better than preaching at people. This is just my opinion. Lots of people write inspirationally this way & you do it as good as anyone I've read (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I love how you did a pick me up/inspirational poem! However, I don't know the significance of June. I really want to understand what "Do not forget June" means. For some reason, I kept being reminded of "Do not go gentle into that good night." That's what I sort of equated it to.
Only one little common spelling error, "defiantly" is actually "definitely."

Well this poem is for a friend named June, she is shy by nature so goes the poem contradicting to what she is in real life. Was encouraging her to do things to the extreme, she's so talented and just needs a bit of a push to make her do those things confidently. Humbly speaking, "defiantly" and "definitely" are two different words Chryiss. Thank you for the review, it was much appreciated.

[Chryiss]

Ah I see! That makes sense now.
As for "defiantly" and "definitely," I meant that I think you meant to use "definitely" instead of "defiantly." They mean two different things, and I typically see people use "defiantly" when they meant to use "definitely" by accident (spell-check actually auto corrects to defiantly, so it's not picked up). Of course, if you actually meant the word defiantly (meaning resistantly) rather than definitely (meaning certainly), I can see how that would fit in this poem of encouragement. Again, it's just a common spelling error I come across in writing, so I pointed it out just in case. :)

Thank you for this. I'll surely keep that in mind Chryiss. Lovely name tho "Chryiss" where'd u get that from?

[Chryiss]

It's basically a nickname of mine made fancier, lol. I like y's in names, so I stuck one in and added double s to make it look "right" to me. So it's essentially made up, haha~ I tend to do this a lot for my story characters though.

[Gabby The GAB]

Me too, I really liked names with "y" sometimes i just insert it on my friends' names hahaha Nice to meet you and merry Chryissmas!! :D :D
