Guadalupe Meza May 2017
We feel things we don't ask for so we can learn how to stand.
We get what we don't want so we can conform with it.
We find the thing's we avoid because it's what we need.
We hold on to things from fear of losing a part of ourselves.
We love what hurts us because they give something back.

It's hard to walk away because we haven't learned how to crawl.
It's hard to see reality because fantasy is so much better.
It's hard to let go because we are afraid to fall.
It's hard to find the right path because it's always hidden.

To truly find the answer you
Have to look inside yourself first,
Because you can't ask a question
That you can't answer yourself.
This poem goes with my other poem "On the inside"
I wrote this when I was going through a confusing time of life and I just needed to write why is was so hard to do things that should have been easy.
Yes, you can do it
Step up and give yourself a chance
It is all up to you
Just face the big dance
Put your heart into everything
Be the one to inspire
Never give up on hope
Continue to reach even higher

There are times where I feel lost,
And even through lenses life's still a blur.
In this life even feelings come at a cost,
Even though there are people who would beg to differ.

Life always pushes us down to the ground
So we can feel the pain,
But it's our job to rebound
And reap our gain.

I say to hell with what they think,
They cannot define me.
I won't be pushed to the brink
Waiting to fall into the deep.

I just want to believe in who I can be
Without leaving the real me.
It's really hard to be the person you should be so I hope this will shine a little light on the dark path.

A dream is only a dream
If you don't believe in it.
If you don't believe, it won't be a beam
Of hope, but it will just be a bit
Of dust in a land vastly changing.

If you believe in your dream then it becomes a plan,
And if you take action on your plan it becomes reality.
And in reality you are your only fan,
The only person who will go through insanity
For you and will not complain.

To achieve this you must believe in yourself
And you must be a little selfish and put others on a shelf.
So that no one can stand in your way,
For they will leave you one day.
Seek what your heart desires.

Always believe in yourself
And never let go of what is your.
Once you believe in what you can do, you can achieve anything.
