Doing what you can
Earning you way, trying to understand.
Always working day and night,
Things don't always work out right.
Having trouble with each day,
It's hard to make your way.
Seaching for an easy life,
Even though you know not strife.
And when you do you crumble down,
Sinking into despair, you drown.
Yet, it is easier just to give,
Like snapping a twig.
Instead the hardship lies in moving on,
Very many just aren't that strong.
Instead they choose to end it all,
Never knowing their plans flaw.
Great is their mistake,
I know too well how fake,
Seductive is the power of giving in.
Almost like breathing sin.
Cruel, the power pulls you,
Haunting you with things untrue.
And many never make it passed,
Living in their sordid past.
Long I've strived to move,
Encouraging others, to prove,
No one has to be so weak.
Greatness is simpler than you think.
Even I know, as I sit...
"Courage is not absence of fear, but the facing of it."

Author notes
Acrostic.
Just something that was bounching around in my head, so I decided to share my odd philosophical thoughts. ^^; Don't even think I spelled that right...
~I am nothing, yet I still am.~

You've become my favorite (well, you've always been my favorite) writer on Allpoetry, just because all your writes seem to come from the heart and life lessons. I truly look up to you. You're so much stronger and talented than anyone I know. Good job Jan ♥

Thank you. Unfortunately, everything I write is straight from the heart, which is why I write so much. It's true, you have to suffer for your art. >.<
I'm glad you liked it though.

P.S. the enjambment is good but the rhyme cool use a li'l more tending. You are getting so very skilled and using that vocabulary of yours much more effectivly than years passed.

Thank you, the rhyme was hard, as always with acrostics, but I tried hard. >.< I'll probably look over it again and see if I can make it any more smoother.
Well, thats all thanks to all the critics I get from you and everyone else who've helped me improve my skills over time.
