I must say: this is a wonderful poem of encouragement and optimism.
But as a fellow writer to another, giving honest and constructive criticism, I'd kindly advise you to not write your entire poem(s) in capital letters. Just like people who write full poems in multicolors like the rainbow, rather than plain black and white,
it can be distracting and detract readers from taking the poem and poet seriously to fully grasp the core message.
The structure and layout, as well as the first impression readers have, of a poem matters.
You, as aspiring journalist, should take a professional attitude toward each and every aspect of writing as a craft, whilst still being creative
(as I clearly see you are).
And also pay careful and conscious attention to Vocabulary and Grammar, especially correct sentencing and punctuation.
Example:
'Have hope, for tomorrow will be better.
Your troubles will evaporate into thin air.
The Grace of God shall shine over you.
Love will penetrate through your frustrations
and warm your heart
till the cold escapes.
Have hope, for one day your tears shall dry,
your sorrow be turned into joy,
your shortcomings overshadowed by success.
Have hope, for your dreams will come true.
Have hope!
Live hope!
Breathe hope!
Be hope!'
Princess, you should notice that in the second paragraph I do not repeat 'shall' and 'will' within the same sentence structure; that would be unnecessary repetition.
i liked how in your poem the negative was always overshadowed by the positive aspects and hopeful aspects .....it jus emphasizes how hope will always prevail if we jus have a lil faith ....nicely done
