Keep your Head High

We all need something to wake up for. Without hope, life is worth it.

Whatever happened to me

Always topping the bar?

It seems as though I dazzled

By reality, I need a wake up call

I am always determined

Constantly trying my best

With anything and everything

I give it my heart and soul...

But in return, what do I get?

I'm ashamed of my timid behavior

Always peeking inside a cloud

In reality I could make a difference

I have creative potential.

I can feel it pulsing through my veins

And if I was given the chance

I would blow your circuits to shreds

If only I was looked at for a second glance

But for now, I'm falling down an endless pit

Of reality

Scared to find myself in a dead end

Wrapped in failure, a tragedy.

For now, I keep my head high

Hoping for the best

Scouting the Earth for hopes to cling to

Without getting to rest

Determination is just that, right?

Leaving your spare life

Giving it up for a sacrifice

Faith on the line

Feeding the dream all the time

But I can't lose feeling

I have to keep believing

Before I'm a goner

Oh, and and won't be too long until....

I succeed.

My grades are plummeting so low it is unbelievable! I was devastated, so I wrote this new poem to shed off some rage. Comment on what you think of it!

A very strong poem. Grades can fall. Like my poor daughter. She got some extra tutoring. She got back on track again. Poem is true. Need to forget the mistakes and try to improve. Life is a constant struggle to learn and be wiser. Thank you for the excellent poem.
