Innerself

A Poem by Laurie

A poem about your inner strength.

Innerself
Our inner selves is what gives us, strength to carry on.
It gives us unwavering power, just when you think your strength is gone.
We just have to realize
how to view things in a different light.
We can let the tough think it's won,
or we can stare it down and fight.
Rather than choose to give up,
I choose to dance and sing, every chance I get.
I'll use my innerself to keep me going,
for losing I will not let.
I am not ready to lie down, with the dead.
I will use every bit of power I have, to keep me going instead.
Then when my body says you've had enough,
I will let my maker meet me, and praise me for being so tough.
For as long as you give life everything you've got,
when your time has truly come, regrets you will have not.
