The enemy is attacking within,
Trying to **** in order to win.

Pain covers us with blame,
Causing us to feel shame.

If we let the anguish sustain,
No causes will remain.

Allow the tears to scream,
So the problem won't ruin a dream.
Michael LoMonaco Apr 2018
Persistence is the fuel for success,
Ignited by the sparks of passion.

Attacked by the enemy of imperfection,
Facing hardships on every battlefront.

Dueling problems with a strong sword,
Fighting for the ultimate cause in life.

A warrior never admits defeat in battle,
No surrender in the war for excellence.

When success is finally won by glory,
The blade of victory will shine with pride.

Traveling the long journey to glory,
Trying to reach the destination of success.

When progression is hurried by exertion,
Stamina will arrive at levels of exhaustion.

The momentum to victory requires steadiness,
Needing patience as the pace relies on mini strides.

Small steps are essential to attain greatness,
As the route to succeeding is a slow plan.

If desires to rush growth produce a craving,
Crush the urge by realizing the harms of speeding.

Traditional patterns form a routine,
Creating rituals that are tough to quash.

Trapped in habitual ways of dependency,
Establishing a reliance on customs.

Indulgences like smoking are rough to beat,inspirational
Poetry, poems Tendencies such as laziness are hard to crush.

In order to abolish the trends of old habits,
Self-discipline must prevail against obsession.

Even though compulsive behaviors are addictive,
Ambition to quit unhealthy desires is always possible.

Self-encouragement can erode with negativity,
Plaguing the confidence in your own abilities.

Discouraging thoughts derive from the soul,
Or generate through external words of criticism.

A negative can be approached by positivity,
Through filtering out the toxic viewpoints.

Tackling hostile judgments requires confidence,
Crediting yourself with constructive attitudes.

Evaluating the cause with optimistic stances,
And rejecting the context related to lethal opinions.
Michael LoMonaco Apr 2018
Despair leads to lanes that unleashes hardships,
Feeling hopeless when deprived of fulfillment.

Constantly directing the attention to negativity,
Devoting countless minutes towards pessimism.

Contemplating perspectives with disturbed views,
Seeing bad when plenty of good certainly exists.

Perceptions of viewpoints must possess positivity,
Visualizing the picture with encouraging thoughts.

If darkness is currently present in the painting,
Discover ways to identify the enriching light.

Remembering the fortunes in life will lift spirits,
Helping to numb the unfortunate that inflicts stress.

Many people glare at television for hours,
Yet sitting still for one minute is like eternity,
As my mind will travel to foreign lands.

When my brain is active by vigorousness,
I am high on the participation of cause,
Seeking out missions that provoke reason.

Each time I read or write,
I’m escaping to heavenly places,
To a paradise that excites the thinker.

Almost always active with meaning,
As my attention span thrives on results,
Spending hours on joy that grows purpose.
