Just Because (By T. Pina)

A poem of inspiration to help one walk through a valley of despair

 

Just because

You've been stabbed through your heart once, doesn't mean you have to go out and destroy another.

 

Just because

You've been abused in life, doesn't mean you have to go out and abuse others.

 

Just because

 Others have turned your world up side down in pure misery,

doesn't mean you have to live in that misery forever.

 

Just because

You lived in a war torn world for so long, doesn't mean you have

to be a war monger!

 

Just because

A b*****d once broke your heart, doesn't mean you have to be

a heart breaker!

 

Just because

Disaster and grief has destroyed your entire world, doesn't mean you shouldn't try to comfort others that are going through their worst of times.

 Just because 

you have been treated like s**t in your life, doesn't mean you always have to throw it back at others and treat them the same! 

 

The cemeteries are full with people who have no problems, pain or strife.

No one ever promised us that this ride we call life, would ever be simple or nice.

 

Yet one thing is for sure in life and that's, greatness is not measured by how long you lived but by how you lived instead.

 

Tough times never last but tough people do.

Violence will always breed violence and hatred will always too.

 

The difference between dreamers and great ones is that the great ones can always perceive beyond their dark clouds of despair and struggles to see the rainbow of hope in their lives.

 

What goes around comes around, that has been written in the stars.

If you try to plant seeds of true love and kindness,

your blessing will never be far.

 

So be great in your life by dreaming way beyond human expectations.

 

Always, live life with passion, dare to believe in yourself and watch

your dreams come true.

 

If it happened to me my friend in my lifetime, then it most certainly will happen to you.

Author's Note

My 2nd poem.
The first part was written to always remind me that nothing good ever breeds from violence or hatred (except the same) the 2nd part is just a ray of hope for all those going through pain and despair in their lives!

Every word the truth but this line especially caught my attention especially in the now that I am living.
"Tough times never last but tough people do." Dusting off my 'tough' as I leave here. I write often times as you have here, as a reminder to myself. I really enjoyed this. I am sorry I have not been able to drop in on you sooner. Have a great week.

Blessings,
Lesa

Very meaningful, but to positive for me. I like it, but parts seem to overlap (In my head, not actually writen) I can't relate well, me being on a unique path allowes me to see the good in bad. Bad things will happen, it can't be stopped. Wisdom comes from life experiance, and never shrug off what damage has been done. You need to learn for a reason, Karmic Law, Karmic Balance, Karmic Judgement.

Other then that, decient, Try color to attract and express your view maybe?

Very uplifting. The way you wrote it really makes it flow nicely. I wish I could have this state of mind whenever I'm feeling down but I always get caught up in the present and not the future...

Inspirational stuff. I enjoyed it...especially the last bits! It would probably perform well also. I dunno what you have been through but you have certainly come through with a strong personal ethic.

[Trystin S. Bailey]

Well played, sir. I mean, you've done a lovely job of listing those basic rules of living a truly fulfilled life- the sort of stuff that is so basic, so obvious, that most of the people of the world, so used to over-complicating things, miss it entirely. This is something that many people could benefit not just from reading, but from taking it in and allowing it to filter into their own lifes and for that reason it gets my seal of personal approval.

[Wildfleour]

This is a wonderful message that I hope will inspire people to seek happiness instead of unhappiness. It is about choice in most cases.

A great write.

"So be great in your life by dreaming way beyond human expectations."- love that line!!!

A great poem, I was hooked from the start. It was wonderful to see such strength and fierceness with each word- I felt as if you were spitting them out powerfully and it moved me.

Absolutely fantastic :D

Excellent job of showing the alternative to being as horrible as the person that hurts you. Sometimes we need a wake up call (or a good swift kick) when we fall into the same pit as the enemy.

[Omar]

Yes! Keep writing poetry, you seem to be good at it. And it's almost as if you've mixed between poetry and prose, which is pretty smart when it comes to the message you were delivering. I think this poem tackles our world in a very honest, intelligent way. Well done :)

[FrikinFrancesca]

Wow, This is amazing. This is a very good poem! They really speak to me.~
