"discouragements" poems
I was told i wasn't smart enough.
I was told that i wouldn't achieve anything.
But here i am, standing on a stage. Undressed by all my imperfections
With emotional nakedness in front of the mic.
Covered in fear, but driven by courage.
We've all been told something negative.
However our necessity to survive these discouragements should keep our dreams alive.
We should follow our happiness like footsteps in a minefield.
And let succes exist through the art that we create.

Past the vines of grins
and hopeful beams
lies the audacity
of discouragements,
assuring you
the existence of doubts.
Timeless records
will stop playing
at the back of her mind
as memories
immobilised with tears,
and fears,
and doubts.
She will despise you
as long as she loved you;
and will continue
to lie at your image.

We played with words as we were as young as our minds think
We dreamed so prettily within this corners of our imaginations
We shared love, the way we see and define how we ought to love
And thought we did it right though pain grabs every inch of our innocent hearts
But never was love just feelings, I felt for you
But like rushing winds, all these discouragements fell on me
I do not feel what I felt before, for you
I don't love you, if you ask me how I feel
But I see you, in my dream every night
You are the one this heart of mine loves,
I thought love is just mere feelings, it is a choice
And I was wrong, I love you!

What if dreams could talk, would you allow them to freely speak?
They'd probably tell you how to get what you truly seek...
If my dreams could talk they would say to me,
Please do not give up on me...
We see that you are trying to make us come alive,
And we appreciate every stride…
But now at a crossroad we are standing still,
And the very things that make us unique, they are trying to ****
Through disappointments and discouragements we have seen you stand,
And made things happen for us, even if no one gives a hand…
But lately you have stopped fighting, and we feel as if we are drifting away,
So we are asking you please not to stop fighting for us, so that we won't melt away…
My dreams are pleading, because I stopped believing…
My passion for success is fading, because of moments that were disappointing…
Do something, you're giving up on us!
Don't let us die; fight for us, you must!
Dreams deferred due to financial lack,
Broken promises, disappointing moments and views of loved ones’ back…
But who will fight to keep my dreams alive if not me?
I have to make them a reality…
I can't give up even when all hope is lost,
I have to keep fighting no matter the cost…
My dear dreams, I will fight for you,
Because one day you will all come true.

A dear friend who comes to my aid
Everytime, no matter what I need or want or just be
Because he is the best friend one can have
Stands by always attending to all
Mine, and always cheering me
Beyond the world’s noise
Predicting what I can’t
Thank you my friend
Vouching for my success
Despite discouragements
Quite a lovely birthday
You have, with the world
Cheering you always
Amazing friend I have
For eternity

Rose, leaf of love
You sprouts
Gentle and wild
Beautiful in thistles
Charming amongst thorns
And the world is filled again
With affection and obsession
The world is gay again
With laughter's and devotions
Rose, flora of love!
You opens up
Beautiful and pretty
Colourful and mighty
Awesome in prickles
And blesses the earth
With perfumes of your petals
With fragrances of your fallopian
And the earth is in cheers and dears
O rose, stalk of romance
In fingers you dances humble
Watching and wiping tears of love
Discouragements-grieves
Of dejection and rejection
Igniting and lighting fires of desires
Infernos of adoration and admiration
Bringing unity to lost and hope to found
You rose a simple selfless stem
Hungry hearts you satisfies with forever
O rose, charity of love
Beauty in bloom
Bud in blossom
Leaf in split
Sheet in spread
Where comes love-
Out of no hope
Where comes life-
Out of no dope
O rose, shower of love.

Humans have eternal curiosity
Which leads them to disappointment
and somber sin
Knowledge sharpens the sword of melancholy
While happiness downs in a sea of
disappointment
Can't you see?
When I allow myself to feel
All I feel are these pessimistic
discouragements

Keys
Ivory fingers
pale poised
passing promptly
across the keys
of the loneliest sounding instrument.
Cold little bones
pressing
precisely picked notes.
Eyes closed
as the music carries,
for I learned this song
when I was just a little girl,
a song of loneliness
of heart ache
I learned this tune
because I lost the will
to say
I am unhappy
I have been used
I long for your love
Tell me I'm not all that my mind thinks I am
How long shall I play this song?
Ivory fingers
pressing poorly
pastored keys
the song ages with me
it becomes slower and slower
and lighter and lighter
as the will to press the keys
as the will to express anything at all
slowly fades away
with my surrounding's discouragements,
how much longer will I play this song?
