Self-affirmation

Posted byDocpoetPosted inmusings

Remember the time when all you had done

Was put one foot in front of the other one

When the world in a blanket of despair has seemed shrouded

When any prospect of a meaningful future had appeared clouded

Despite being uncertain whether the ordeal you could survive

Remember you made it through relatively unscathed, and alive

*

Then why are you so discouraged today?

You have a history of finding a way

Through abject darkness, so why are you so afraid

Of your current situation, you know how to wade

Through troubled waters, you’ve done it before too

Look at your past as an inspiration for you..

*

Be your own cheerleader, you can do it, you know

Let life a jumble of curveballs at you throw

You will emerge stronger from this experience

And get another boost to your confidence

  1. I like this. Sometimes–most times–we are our own best cheerleader.

    Your artwork is so good. I know I have said it before, but it would be so wonderful to have your poems and art together in a book.

    1. Thank you so much! I am trying to make creative expression a priority in my life. As a child, I used to “create” handwritten and hand-drawn “magazines” along with my sister in which we wrote stories and poems and illustrated them. When I started my blog, it seemed like I could relive those days by writing and illustrating myself- it is a fantasy to write and illustrate every poem with original artwork on this blog but not possible. The artwork is for Christmas gift boxes, that is why there is a sudden profusion.
