WITHIN ME

I wrote this poem in 2010. I was about 17 years, it still inspires me. Hope it inspires too...

The world within me, mighty and strong

The inside of me, lighty and very long

Never have i ever realised my hugeness

Its only nature that sees

Never have i ever recognised my greatness 

Its only God that heals

So, will i ever know the other me

That's so different from the little me

Blessed and adorned

Would like the outside to be like the inside

Would like them all to take me on their beautiful ride

That is after they know the me, that i hide

Not at all out of pride, it will be after i have cried

I had given my dreams away

To see them flee, tears dripping again

I shall never be weak again

Because the inside shall reign

Among the respected and adored

You shall find me there

Along the road of success

There you shall find me!

Mighty and strong 

With light and very long

The world within me

You against yourself

Hating when you should be loving,
Frowning when you should be smiling,
Crying when you should be laughing,
Doubting when you should be believing,
Sitting when you be rising,
Sleeping when you should be working,
Walking when you should be running,
Talking when you should be listening;

Clearly struggling and battling against yourself
seemingly the easiest thing to do but
truthfully, its you against yourself

You have one life, one spirit, one heart, one soul, one you
why not zealously grab every opportunity as it comes
try not to foolishly pretend like you have no clue
who made it easily and kept their gain easily, please?

Blame no one but yourself
 if all you do is sit and wait for the right time
truthfully, its you against yourself

Alive to live

I am alive in this day today

Not because I'm too clever 

but I am  here anyway

Even though i  shall not live forever

I am here for a purpose

I am here to showcase

My gifts, capabilities and bless

everyone i meet and not miss

any opportunity i see in any place

So now, lets live in this dream together

pray we won't die as failures

to lose or suffer or lack, never! 

 each other, we shall praise

No need to crush or bruise others

No need to lie or hide from others

Just release love in tones

Just redeem the lost ones

And the world shall be livable

And the life shall be worthwhile  

 Not forgetting that we all need each other now and tomorrow

No-one has ever made it on their own

In one way or the other someone came to you to sow

A seed which has since blossomed and now you own

Say thank you today and the rest shall follow
