Poetry for the heart


Believe in Yourself.

You think you have nothing at all

When things don’t go your way

Just take a minute to think

You say you’re at your lowest to sink

But believe in me, there’s some below you

You say this can’t be so

I don’t have a phone to get through

But believe me, some don’t even have people to call

Then you say, but this cant be true

There’s always someone you can call on

Please, they have noone

OK, so you say my lights are off, it’s too dark

Please, there are some that can’t see at all

There’s some that sleeps in parks

Darkness is what they believe, they truly cannot see

Oh, but then you complain I have no money

Believe me they haven’t any

You see them on the trains and even in the streets

They ask and ask until they succeed

Now you’re out of food but have two cans of soup

At least you have a meal for today and had one yesterday

They missed their share of nutrition for the past two days

And today is neither going in their favor

Oh, don’t forget you’re a few months late in your rent

But your landlord is willing to work with you

Imagine being homeless and nowhere to lay your head

Well, let me tell you, that’s what they’re going through

Days spent looking for what little help comes their way

Nights spent in parks, boxes, and empty buildings, even in subways

You see they feel there is no other way

Self-pity is what they brought upon themselves to believe

So they take the hard way to receive

Now you say you have noone, nothing, broke

Please take a look around to take time to realize

You have more than what they believe they can ever have

Believe, you are not at your lowest until you drop your soul and stop trusting in yourself.
