Never stop trying

Never stop trying

A Poem by JRB
"

This was inspired by a nother writers work,,,,,,, So do not give up even if you think you must, Keep on trying from morning to dust

"

 

When things go badly as they seem always to do
Where the path you are traveling seems dazed and confused
When your life, seems to be sad and tragically blue
And in those times it’s hard for you to make it thru

 

When your means are petite and your debts over ride
When you want to smile but only have cried
And you ask yourself as to why
Give not in to that empty sigh

 

For that’s when you will find deep within
A better place to fight so you can win
For when your mind has pushed your spirit to its wits
That is another reason for you not to quit

 

Life is perplexing with its twists and turns
As everyone, one day sometimes learns
And more often than not when you think of turning back
You might have won if you just stayed on track

 

So do not give up even if you think you must
Try to keep on trying from morning to dust
For your goals are closer than you believe
If only you keep trying, you would perceive

 

For often, when you think that you can no longer try
That is when you should never say goodbye
Because that is when you just may feel
Just how close you were to that making it real

 

Achievement is failure twisted with a shout
Silvery dimness from those vapors of doubt
For you may never know how close you where my friend
You just maybe closer towards your goals than your end

 

Even when the darkness is all about

You can turn your sadness inside out

Accept your struggles face your plight

See thru the truth with your inner sight

I really, really enjoy this! It's definitely something I've been needing to hear lately, also. The message shown here is very nice and the way you've displayed it fits it wonderfully. Thank you for a lovely read. :)

I liked this poem. The meaning was very beautiful! Well done.
The only issue I found was in the last line. Quite doesn't fit with lit like the other couplets. It's more of a sight rhyme rather than an oral rhyme like the other lines. Other than that teensie little issue, this was a wonderful piece! :-)
