 Dare To Live 

By T. Pina 

 

 

 

 

When life’s troubles got you down,

 And the waters of your daily strife

Makes you feel like you’re going to drown,

 

Try and reach down inside of your soul

And pull out whatever you got left,

And just dare to live.

 

Life is so uncertain and tomorrow is not promised at all.

Some days you might find yourself on top of the highest mountain of life or in the depths of a barren valley with nothing left inside you at all.

 

Believe me, I’ve been both places in my lifetime and it doesn’t take much in life to cause a person to fall.

Life is completely fragile and can be broken by its seams in no time at all 

 

Yet, if it’s one thing I’ve

 Learned in all of life’s mess,

 Is that blessed is a person,

Who can raise themselves,

from all of their destructive strife.

 

Also Blessed are those who dare to live

 And overcome their hellish struggles in life!

 

Dare to live,

Despite the destroying 

Fires of despair burning in your life.

 

Dare to live,

And you will overcome it all.

 

Believe me, if you do you’ll never be the same,

But then after, pass it on as help to others or it all would have been in vain!

 

 So what ever it takes,

What ever the cost,

Just, dare to live!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

Actually this is the first poem I ever wrote years ago when I was in one of my to be or not to be moods! To my amazement I just found it in my archives this morning. Now I am no poet , but this is what the voice of truth told me inside my head after a very tough day!
May it help to light the roads of those in despair!

I had to smile as I read all of the comments about it being a 'cliched piece'...funny...there is nothing new under the sun, and yet we still go on about cliche....
From you heart, that is what it was, and if I appreciated nothing else of it (which is not the case, but 'IF' it were), that alone recommends your write.

"Life is completely fragile and can be broken by its seams in no time at all......"

Ain't that the truth my friend!!

Superb poem that started off with such despair, but reading on I found
the mood lifting and the courage and tenacity of the writer coming through.

Ah the bravery of the "human spirit" never ceases to amaze me. Almost
every poem I read here (with some exceptions) balances the sadness with the
thought that there is indeed hope.

You have shown this loud and clear in this write. Thank you for sharing
and submitting this to my "Loneliness" contest.
