Show StrengthA Poem by Samantha LayAt times life comes at us so fast that when it gets to us,
the wind is knocked out of our lungs It leaves us defenseless against dangerous times, week when
we must be strong It’s a time when others feel they should trample on us. Sometimes we are hurt so badly, we stay on the ground
weeping with pain Shaking with the fear
others have put into us Life is hard, but being strong is harder When fear, panic, and even terror come into our lives it’s
hard to let it go We use this as a cover, a place where we can hide Many people say they live in fear of the outside world Pouring themselves into a video game or books Staying hidden in a room, where nothing will ever change Even though something offal may have happened we must always
let it go Hiding is not the answer, standing your ground is When we are knocked down and feel there is nothing to help
us now Get back up and fight Stay on your path of life Not the path someone else wants you to be on. Take control; show no fear, stare danger in its eye Be strong because in the end we are the greater beings You are capable of anything. © 2015 Samantha Lay |
