STRONG & POWERFUL

by powerful.imani

Theres days when I fall and can't get back up 

only to find a solution for me finding my balance again 

The moment when I feel all I do is mess up mistakes here and there

feeling like a totally foul,a joke 

feeling like a burglar came into my soul and took everything

my hope, my  faith, my smile and just left me with nothing 

but some how I retain all those things once again

How I've been knocked down to the bone 

but still stand up  again 

how every moment I get back up seems it won't be to long until I fall again 

How life comes in and kicks you right in the stomach with no mercy

All this stuff just keep on palling on and on like I'm some land field 

when I'm only the drop off where everything lands on me 

Everyone expecting me to rise and rise 

but it's impossible to be that strong only to break 

but I've broken and broken but I find those missing pieces 

which puts me back together 

It's like I've been picked out,dug out until a more deeper hole which keeps getting harder and more difficult for me to find a way out 

When life becomes so much more frustrating like why is all this happening to me 

all these questions but only a few answers which doesn't make any since 

Everyone like don't give up 

But people don't know how hard it is until they experience it 

I'm running and almost feel the crowd call my name the victory 

only to fall ,break,feel alone ,and cry

I give up 

but after all that I wake up to another new day 

I'm no longer in pain 

what I'm feeling is growth and the strength that I just now realized I had

I'M NO LONGER A FAILURE BUT I'M

STRONG &POWERFUL!!!!!!!

<p>Yes this world can produce some terrible things, but theirs a lot in life worth fighting for. Living is one of them, spend your every aching moment doing something amazing to counter the negative that dwells around us. Be powerful and strong cause it will help you make it to the next morning and look at the small things in life cause it's worth that split second of noticing it. Like the other day I saw a blue jay building a nest and I saw a grasshopper in the glass looking right at me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Imani keep telling this world what they need to hear cause trust me it will echo throughout msg and pieces of old conversation will spread like a vuris and everyone will see who started the movement.</p>
