Thoughts

Thoughts from the past tormenting me
Dreams for the future luring me
Trapped in the present’s cage
Between past and dreaming
Tired to fight but still thinking
I can’t give up, just get stronger
I can’t be weak, I’m a fighter.
Dream heart, see eyes, think mind
Stand up, humble and kind,
Go pain, cry eyes, just do it right.
One day to say I made it bright.

You have found the good recipe for survival. You must have lots of skills and experiences to show you are a fighter and not a quitter.
A powerful poem with lots of self confidence and affirmations. Kudos.

To write will keep it bright and do it right in your sight while you fight the thoughts that might cause you to take flight and keep your feet grounded tight. Now you're in my sight!!

Thank you for your lovely review. Nice arrangement of words

Most of us have something that we are in fact battling; I enjoyed the positive self talk reassuring yourself that you can make it through. Sometimes you are all you really have to lean on.

[Ioana Mihai]

I agree with you, we can always find resources within us… thank you for the kind words.

Everyone has their demons and sometimes they want to come out to torment. It takes courage and determination not to allow those feelings an upper hand. The "thoughts" here seem centered on rising above the pain, not only to survive, but to succeed and thrive. I loved the presented message of hope and strength here. Well done.

[M. J. Smith]

Hope here. The power and will to fight. The courage to roll with it. Never serene, but always peaceful. Wonderful thoughts well expressed.

[Ioana Mihai]

Exactly that. It makes me happy to see how much of my insight you got from this poem. I like when people can see in me, or through me, when they can read me, it happens so rare and that’s why it brings me such joy. Thank you for your lovely review, it was so refreshing to my soul :)

They always say you should think in the present, and yet we all tend to look back and wonder what we could have done different if we had the chance. Life is what it is, scars and all.

Life is almost like a meditation with thoughts intruding on the silence. Making an effort to move forward is just a part of the game I guess. And sometimes it does seem like a game, maybe even a cruel one, but that light is there. I hope you find it. :))))
