You Can Do It!

 

 

 

 

You will make it through this day,

deep inside I know that you will.

Just tell yourself you're not giving up,

keep moving and never stand still.

 

Breathe in the fresh air you feel,

keep your head to the sky and never look down.

Be one with the universe all around you,

listen to the birds and their magical sound.

 

You're almost there my friend,

keep climbing and believe in yourself.

leave your tears and anxieties behind you, 

put your worries and doubts upon the highest shelf.

 

 

inspiration

 

 

I promise that in time you will touch the sky,

and you'll feel so free and contented within.

All you have to do is stay motivated in life,

don't procrastinate wake yourself up and begin.

 

You can touch that star that you're admiring,

it can become a part of your wonderful soul.

Just keep your feet moving toward that finish line,

and in time you will move way passed your every goal.

 

Keep your dreams alive within you,

don't ever feel that they won't come true.

Everyday a miracle happens for someone in this world,

and soon one will happen for you too.

 

 

 

 

Think positive and know that you can do anything,

deep inside of your heart is where you hold that key.

Find it, turn it, and release all of magic behind the door.

Break away from the chains that bind you and fly free.

 

Don't be afraid to take risks in your life,

by doing so you'll feel more alive and accomplished.

Don't be shy when an opportunity presents itself,

grab a hold of it and simply become it.

 

Always remember to use your imagination,

it will take you to places that you have never been to before.

Stay hungry throughout your entire life my friend,

and you will find that it will open countless doors.

 

 

 

 

Find yourself a partner for life,

someone that you can count on and love.

Together you can motivate one another,

and slowly but surely you will both rise above.

 

Give positive feedback and inspiration,

have an opened mind and heart through it all.

Be supportive and look out for one another,

catch each other if either of you should ever fall.

 

Don't ever be hesitant or feel you're not worth it,

be more assertive and know that you can.

Don't worry about what the world has to say about you,

I promise you that in time they will all come to understand.

 

 

 

 

So what are you waiting for?

Get yourself out there and become who you want to be.

Don't forget to believe in yourself my friend,

and always remember to let yourself breathe.

 

Good luck to you always wherever you may go,

may you find the strength that you need within you.

Be strong and never let go of what you know is right,

and I promise you that in time, you'll find yourself in world of new!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author notes

Written 10/15/2008

This poem is written from the voices of
motivation and inspiration. Two things
that I think a lot of people in the world
sometimes lack or have trouble finding in
their day to day lives. Sometimes we really
have to take a moment and focus on ourselves
and see where we are, where we want to be,
and how we can get there over time.

It can be very challenging to find these
two qualities within ourselves but, if we
really strive to be our very best, we can
conquer anything and everything!

Thanks a lot for reading and I hope that
you enjoyed this one!

    This is a fantastic almost non-stop boost of confidence and determination to the point of realization. You have masterfullly penned some m ighty powerful words that it would do us all to read and re-read very often, for so easily we are distracted, discouraged or just plain lazy.
    I commend you on such an excellent write-- and I know manyu others likewise have a very high opinion of it and it's author!

    Wow. This is simply amazing. I don't usually have a long attention span, but this is one incredible piece of poetry. I love the way you put so many words of encouragement into this poem and told people that pretty much no matter what happens, keep on going. I think that this verse is a wonderful verse to apply to people here on AP: "Give positive feedback and inspiration, have an opened mind and heart through it all. Be supportive and look out for one another, catch each other if either of you should ever fall." Great job!!!!

  • You can touch that star that you're admiring,

    A very well written piece overall. The flow was a bit choppy in places from the varying line lengths - for a piece like this, it might work better if you can make all the lines the same length, and even add some meter perhaps.

  • A very inspiring poem. I am a runner and I can really relate to feeling of letting yourself down again and again.




    The Positives:

    You really did such a fasinating job on this it was really realtable.

    Room For Improvement:
    Nothing I can see you did wonderful



    My Favorite Part:
    Give positive feedback and inspiration,

    have an opened mind and heart through it all.

    Be supportive and look out for one another,

    catch each other if either of you should ever fall.



    Don't ever be hesitant or feel you're not worth it,

    be more assertive and know that you can.

    Don't worry about what the world has to say about you,

    I promise you that in time they will all come to understand.



    I so love that it really spoke to me
    Overall:

    I give this an 9/10 you did great. I hope to see you in my future contests thanks so much for entering.

Many scenarios come to my mind as to when these words could be used in real life. You did a great job on this write and I am honored to have read it.

    Hello Jeremy0826. I must say very inspiring read you have here.

    Awww, your words sound so full of hope, and you did a good job with organizing thoughts and ideas. I thought it was funny because my computer has been really slow today, so even though it took a while to see the images, I already had the scene in my head of someone climbing Mt. Everest or something, and boom, THEN the photos showed up! I love how writers can paint that scene in one's head so easily! You did a great job with this!

    You're almost there my friend,
    keep climbing and believe in yourself.
    leave your tears and anxieties behind you,
    put your worries and doubts upon the highest shelf.

    favorite part by far a nice write
