Living from excited inspiration,
Moving with motivation,
Not affected by any frustration.

Clearing a path for hope,
Never falling from that *****,
And finding a way to always cope.

Fighting for that dream,
Having a high self-esteem,
As joy is always the theme.

Keep that upbeat spirit alive,
And you will certainly thrive,
Facing a world that’s hard to survive.

Barriers try to block my aim for success,
Threatening victory through destruction.

Visions of glory endure harm by persistence,
Pursuing achievements with passionate resistance.

Desires defy oppositions that halt progress,
As growth strives for productive advancements.

Positive results are on a hard mission,
In a struggle to withstand society’s defects.

Always rejecting shortcomings as factual terms,
Not allowing truths of reality define my aspirations.
Michael LoMonaco Feb 2017
Offers to shine are non-existent,
Even though talent and character prevails.

Trying to earn success ends up hitting a wall,
As dreams with ambitions become crushed.

Putting down your shield to meet new people,
But raise it up again as rejection strikes fiercely.

Succeeding and acceptance are desires with power,
Gaining strength to achieve aspirations of normality.

Normalizing chances for happiness encounters reality,
As imperfections in society dominates decisions.

Treat all opportunities as occurrences of extinction,
Fighting for prospects like possibilities depends on existence.

Causes stimulate a purpose,
Raising my adrenaline which is fueled by reason.

Battling obstacles with joy for a special reward,
Feeling prideful pain as I jump over hurdles.

Standing tall every time I achieve glory,
Proud to win the title from my own challenge.

Even though I have won the championship belt,
My passion for another fight always prevails.

Still hungry for more awards that satisfy,
Craving fights that will lead to additional trophies.

Continuously exploring new competition,
Never ending the struggle for meaning.
Michael LoMonaco Jan 2017
On that cloudy day,
Misery is spread across the atmosphere.

The sun tends to offer hope across the world,
But on that day with dark clouds,
Everything seems to feel very gloomy.

When the sun shines on earth,
Smiles are more likely to glow,
Offering emotions of wellness.

It is a sad fact that the sun can’t be out every day,
But when that shining star isn’t illuminating,
Try to keep that sparkling expression on your face.

Pain expresses creativity from the artist,
As the creator develops ideas inspired by misery.

The designer creates a masterpiece due to agony,
Sharing their work which is a symbol of meaning.

Throughout history, anguish has motivated the best works,
Establishing exhibits that have led to recognition from fame.

Even though despair is a horrible curse,
Possessing a wonderful imagination in art is a gift.
Michael LoMonaco Jan 2017
When you feel completely hopeless,
The rain is pouring down heavily,
Even though it’s a beautiful, sunny day.

Misery totally controls your life,
You are unable to see any light,
And finding the right path seems impossible.

If you are capable of sparking an inch of hope,
From an outside source or within yourself,
It’s possible to say that existence can improve.

What you need to do is push yourself,
To ignite that small sense of optimism,
Fighting for a route to finally find pure happiness.
