All That I Have.

Keep fighting for what you want.

I am not a celebrity,
I don't have a luxury car.
I am just an ordinary guy,
And I can't buy you any star...

 

I am not a magician,
That can work wonders.
I am just an ordinary guy,
Who makes too many blunders.

 

I am not a soldier,
But I've been fighting.
Beaten to dust everytime,
But from the dust still rising.

 

And I am still here,
fighting for what I crave.
Trying my best,
it's all the love I have to give...

We are not heroes, but we live and we have to live life with by the things we have learned living. It's called experience. We can't get experience without making mistakes, without failing. But each time, I think we become stronger. To try our best is all we can do. You have written this in your poem and its all true. Liked it.

Amazing portrait of a normal person but still someone heroic in his normal deed of rising up on his own every time he falls...;)

[Sanjh]

Thank you Misha...:)

Sounds like a song I heard from before. This is really nice. Good job. I like how the pieces says "I'm not great but I can be great just being me."

[Sanjh]

Thank you for the kind words Shitsune...:)

I loved the 3rd stanza, its very meaningful and expressive, you penned it well, and we all are worriers in this life because we all have the enemy ,weather its a human or it any"THING", life is about fighting, and when we fight we win, that's IF we fight,... i always wish for you the best my friend :)

"I am not a soldier,
But I've been fighting.
Beaten to dust everytime,
But from the dust still rising"
We can be many people in along life. I believe we need to lead with love and kindness. You went to many places and thoughts in the poem. We must look at people with the realness. No perfect people. Just us trying to live and survive. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

This is one of the best poems I've read by you thus far. Great job!

The only thing I will say is that I always have a hard time with poems that start with a rhyming pattern and then go "off book." That may be just me, but it's nice to have a consistent strategy.

Otherwise, I really enjoyed this poem.

[Sanjh]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it. And a very helpful advice, I'll try my best to improve my writing.
Thank you...:)

You're doing great :) and we can all use improvement. Not even the greats can say they didn't need to revise their work at one time or another. Keep in mind, too, that my opinion is just an opinion. I receive opinions about my work all the time and sometimes I follow them and sometimes I stick to my guns. The beauty of writing poetry is that there is freedom in it.

Keep doing what you're doing!

[Sanjh]

Well said and very true. I'm in the learning process right now and I'm learning new things everyday. Writers like you are of great help to beginners. Thank you so much...:)
