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

love it, its like passiga torch, that one smile makes anothers day and so on, ifonly they could learn, and showing the calm of the dead, but saying living istn suppose to be easy, the opposites go very well to get to your point keep those philosophies and they may catch on

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.


This is so true~ what ever you put out there always comes back~ so it's always good to
send out kindness and love for our fellow men~ great piece of writing my friend~

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.

That part sums it up for me...enjoyed your great writing!!!

[Ralphy]

way to go Tim, The words and thought are excellent and it should waken some dormant thoughts that might have gotten lost in those well known cobwebs of the mind. Thanks for the writing this piece to help us remember our worth...

Your poem really helped me.
I can relate to every word you wrote.
You, my friend, are a talented writer.

[Helen Woodward]

Holding a grudge only hurts the bearer, I couldn't agree more with your ' buck stops here' attitude, it is
refreshing and morally right...revenge doesn't help the deprived, but it dos make fodder for writers!
Cheers,
Helen ;-)

"What goes around comes around, that has been written in the stars.
If you always plant seeds of true love and kindness,
your blessing will never be far."

This is an inspirational masterpiece. So much truth within this poem.

I wish the entire world could read this, and follow this advice.

It would be a much better world, indeed.

A favorite, for sure!

[RHEA CROSLEY]

Very good write on turning things to the positve. And I agree in general if we are good while here there is a good chance will get some blessing for it here. And if not here we will get it later. Everything we do is accountable in the cosmos.

A nice piece that could be much better with a little editing. Second line "you've been stab" should be "you've been stabbed" and "others have been turn" should be "turned". Also "great one's" should be "great ones". Grammar and literary license are distinct and make for a far more effective reading.
