Persevere

by Paralyzed   May 31, 2008


Clear your mind of all you know
Purge the evil that you sow
Let it go, all held inside
Scream before the sun has died

Be everything they say you won't
Believe you can't and find you don't
Stay positive through trails and pain
Joy shall fall as cleansing rain

Touch that spot inside your soul
That little voice that fear had stole
Freedom's found inside the mind
Leave the outside world behind

Search yourself for all you need
Love yourself and you'll succeed
Shut out all who bring you down
Do not drink their hate and drown

False love will not quench a thirst
It leaves you bare and feeling cursed
Though roads may turn and take you there
You're in control of all you bear

All that makes us wish for death
Washed away, a single breath
Just one step to change the flow
Of all we touch and all we know

Controller of the grand design
Though we're tainted, still divine
Perfect, never, for we're growing
Scared, there is no way of knowing

    I loved the message in this.

    "Search yourself for all you need
    Love yourself and you'll succeed
    Shut out all who bring you down
    Do not drink their hate and drown"

    that's very good advice.

    this was wonderfully written. your word choice suited the poem, and the rhythmn was perfect. and, as always, amazing imagery.

    A great write, the meter was excellent and imagery vivid.

    I personally know lots of people living a lie and sharing their unforfilled dreams with another. I chose not to do this and broke free of unhappiness. At least I now have the chance to be free, to love and to be loved.
