Willpower
An original poem personifying the chaos of today on the 'self.' Stay strong and continue to dream.
Hey readers. I wanted to write a piece personifying the confusion within self during our current times. I've mentioned this before, but it is an odd era and grows odder even still. I wanted to provide encouragement to grow and look within in order to maintain strength. This piece isn't aimed at anything in particular, but rather to illustrate how chaotic the world is right now. There are new things we all still learn each day, and I hope you can create your dreams of today and tomorrow. May all of the strength and peace find you in this crazy world. Always remember to take time for yourself when needed. Much love.
These times seem to gel together
Like a puzzle with infinite pieces
What keeps me from the blurring lines
Of reality and illusion is
My belief of the earth's solid hold
Standing firmly there, I remember
I have things that I've hoped for
To look forward to
The sun and moon watch the madness
They sense the anguish and confusion
Even the grass and ocean feel
The unease and conflicting shift
What exactly is right to cling to?
Where is the safe guidance in this current state?
As futile as this sounds, creating a safe haven
Within yourself makes the difference
Making the dreams you've been afraid to believe in
Can be the focus and guiding light in this weird era
Of uncertainty and ambiguity of humankind's mindset
Sometimes, I fall asleep and wonder if what I'm doing
Is all for naught or will there be someone who feels the same?
The nights seem to seep into the daytime and yesterday's worries
Linger too long into today
The only thing I can do is pray, dream, and manifest the
Willpower to move into a direction that feels right to my intuition
I can only grow from within and gain a conscience effort and awareness
In a world that gets even stranger minute by minute, hour by hour
And maintain who I am
Hold steadfast to the person before me
Understand and learn as time stretches
For no one knows everything not even once
May the willpower to grow myself
Stand the test of these weird times
