Temptation arises, calls out your name
Desires deep inside, hot as a flame
Be strong of mind, strong of heart
My faith in you will not depart
Trials close in, difficulties high
You want to push on, but want to cry
Stay straight and narrow, always true
How much better will you look to you?
Heartfelt anguish at falling down
Giving up and losing the crown
Do not despair, do not quit
Most important, do not cry and sit
You are stronger than you realize
Untapped fortitude behind your eyes
Grit your teeth, keep going on
Soon, very soon, your battle is won
Author notes
I'm not too sure about the spelling of "realize", and the last rhyme sounded a bit strained, but I'm happy with the outcome. I was thinking about how difficult life seems, especially when you are all alone, and without emotional or physical support. I am reminded of an old poem, ending with "rest if you must, but don't you quit!" For all of you, regardless of trials, tribulations forthcoming, pain of letting yourself (or others) down, remember that only you can affect yourself. It is no secret passed from on high, and I firmly believe that our free will means that our will is the strongest weapon we have against anything that stands in our way. God Bless you, all of you.

Excellent Write
You spelled it correctly, and it is a great piece. It seems you can easily put your emotions into words, maybe not so easily but very well.

The night you made me look in the mirror and tell you four things that i saw. I told you what i saw, and then you told me what that ment. This is that, just in writing, just as comforting, and just as amazing.

Nicely done. Good rhyme. But sad. Hang in there, your support means a lot to a loved one .

You have the hidden strength!
You hide it from so many; I'm glad you write, allowing some to see the real 'you.' Do you know how self-esteem is built? - by doing what you know is right, whether anyone else knows or not. There is ONE who knows! Love You Forever and Always!

Wow
You have come so far from your reflections on graduation!

Awesome. And I guess a thank you is in order. It's very true that we have Untapped Fortitude there at our disposal. I'm hoping that some of the bs I've had to deal with will help and not hinder me when it comes time to sign the papers... know what I mean jelly bean? lol! Take care! *SALUTE*
