Chasing Dreams: An Ode to Resilience

Always wondered if this would be the time 

Beware of what might be coming for you 

Caution, your heart, for you never know 

Danger is all around 

Evade at all cost 

Fight with everything that you have 

Going for the win 

Hurry, you can’t be late 

Insist your every wish 

Just go for it 

Kindness is the key 

Live for the moment 

Move with determination 

Now or forever be lost 

Open the mind to all ideas 

Precious moments are being missed 

Quit doubts 

Realize your potential 

Seize the moment 

The time is now 

Unity is the name of the game 

Victory awaits those who strive 

With every effort, dreams come alive 

Xenial gestures create bonds so tight 

Yield not to fear, embrace the light 

Zealously chase the dreams in your sight.

Defiant daisies
Grow through the hardest concrete
Beautiful protest
In an unjust world, we live
Beauty will surely prosper

Finding Strength After the Storm

I want to toss my hands in the air,
And give up.
What is the point anymore?
But I need to stay strong.
For there is sunshine after a storm.

Three Things Challenge #M807

BRUTAL
HARSH
BLOOD

The brutal and harsh words cut through me like a knife,
Imaginary blood bleeds away all my hopes and dreams,
But I rise from the ashes, stronger than before,
My spirit unbroken, my resolve unyielding,

No words can extinguish the fire in my soul,
No wounds can erase the light in my eyes,
For I am more than the pain that I bear,
I am a warrior, unafraid to rise.
