110%

by Italian Stallion   Apr 3, 2007


When loosing that special someone,
There comes a strong feeling,
That part of our emotional world has changed forever
And can never be retrieved or made good,
Well your wrong...

Loss is central to our lives.
We cannot avoid it.
And besides, It is often through brokenness and loss
That we truly grow into our humanity
And develop the compassion that connects us to others.

I'm not going to tell you what to do, why?
Because I've been at this state of mind before,
And you just don't want to hear it.
Yes, it's not easy, but we have to accept it
And move on, it something we all call grieving.

Don't sell yourself short In life,
It is very easy to take a shortcut or the easy road out
DON'T DO IT! Give 110% and you will never be disappointed.
Stand up for what you believe in, fight for it, don't sit and ponder or sulk,
Just don't, it makes matters worse

Stand up tall, and tell yourself,
I can do this, I can handle it,
I am strong, and no one can push me down,
Because when I get knocked down I get up again...
And when I get up again, I am strong and more knowledgeable than before
So don't get in my way this time...

Keep a positive mind, and positive things will come from it,
Keep a negative mind set, and well negative things will produce from it...
It's like the old saying, "you hang around a dog, you'll become one"
Well you hang around negative thoughts, negative things will happen,
And if you hang around positive thoughts, positive things will happen...

Stand up, think strongly about stuff,
And be positive in every way, shape or form,
And you'll be happy, and nothing can get in your way.

    It was not really like a poem. It didn’t have a rhythm to it or so is my opinion. It was just a person talking about the things he had learned in his life.
    I read all of it anyway and I found them all some facts everybody should know in their lives. thanks for putting them here! words of wisdom never get old.
