Just Because (By T. Pina)

A poem of inspiration to help one walk through a valley of despair

 

Just because

You've been stabbed through your heart once, doesn't mean you have to go out and destroy another.

 

Just because

You've been abused in life, doesn't mean you have to go out and abuse others.

 

Just because

 Others have turned your world up side down in pure misery,

doesn't mean you have to live in that misery forever.

 

Just because

You lived in a war torn world for so long, doesn't mean you have

to be a war monger!

 

Just because

A b*****d once broke your heart, doesn't mean you have to be

a heart breaker!

 

Just because

Disaster and grief has destroyed your entire world, doesn't mean you shouldn't try to comfort others that are going through their worst of times.

 Just because 

you have been treated like s**t in your life, doesn't mean you always have to throw it back at others and treat them the same! 

 

The cemeteries are full with people who have no problems, pain or strife.

No one ever promised us that this ride we call life, would ever be simple or nice.

 

Yet one thing is for sure in life and that's, greatness is not measured by how long you lived but by how you lived instead.

 

Tough times never last but tough people do.

Violence will always breed violence and hatred will always too.

 

The difference between dreamers and great ones is that the great ones can always perceive beyond their dark clouds of despair and struggles to see the rainbow of hope in their lives.

 

What goes around comes around, that has been written in the stars.

If you try to plant seeds of true love and kindness,

your blessing will never be far.

 

So be great in your life by dreaming way beyond human expectations.

 

Always, live life with passion, dare to believe in yourself and watch

your dreams come true.

 

If it happened to me my friend in my lifetime, then it most certainly will happen to you.

Author's Note

My 2nd poem.
The first part was written to always remind me that nothing good ever breeds from violence or hatred (except the same) the 2nd part is just a ray of hope for all those going through pain and despair in their lives!

Every word the truth but this line especially caught my attention especially in the now that I am living.
"Tough times never last but tough people do." Dusting off my 'tough' as I leave here. I write often times as you have here, as a reminder to myself. I really enjoyed this. I am sorry I have not been able to drop in on you sooner. Have a great week.

Blessings,
Lesa

And you are absolutely right, what
goes arond comes around and just
because people do you wrong, it does
not mean you should fight fire with fire

i love this, it's so true! just because awful things have happened to you or is happening to you, doesn't mean you go looking for trouble and spreading misery all throughout! but you know what, sometimes we can't help it, and feel the need to do harm to others... but it shouldn't be... hei i;m not perfect, it's happened to me one too many times before, but i am trying to change, look for positivity!:)

well thats something i will ponder

[whispersoftly]

Reading can and does help. Writing does as well! Keep up the good work ;-)

[Salvatore Buttaci]

It's sad that some hold dearly to that old Biblical adage, "An eye for an eye." Or that other sentiment about bad things happening to others, not to me.

A very good poem: honest in its delivery. It certainly gives the reader cause to reflect.
