Motivational Poem About Pushing Through

in Inspirational Poems

Wake up, beautiful.
Wake up from this tragedy.
Breathe,
Return to reality.

Wake up, beautiful.
Wake up from this tragedy.
Breathe,
Return to reality.
I know you're broken,
Nothing left to break.
Sleep is not the answer.
You need to be alive,
Be awake.
You're not just a shell,
You are not dead inside.
Just wake up, beautiful.
Look at the world,
Be alive.
Ignore the demons
Who try to pull you below.
You can stand strong
Even though you are alone.
Wake up, beautiful.
Be strong,
Pull through.
You are not shattered,
Broken,
Or defeated .
No one can take your place, dear.
Only you can be you.

Poem On Overcoming Hardship And Finding Strength

in Bullying Poems

A letter to that girl
That girl who sat by herself
That girl who doubted herself
That girl who was bullied

A letter to that girl
That girl who sat by herself
That girl who doubted herself
That girl who was bullied
She was let down

A letter to that girl
That girl who was used
That girl who was manipulated
That girl who was gaslighted
She was left in pieces

A letter to that girl:
You are beautiful
You are wonderful
You are you
Don't let anyone take that away from you

And I know this world can knock you so far down
Trust me, I do
But it's all about picking yourself back up
Fighting back
And showing just who you are

Look at you, so strong
You showed everyone who you are
And even in the darkest moments
You pulled through
And you became you

So this is a letter to that girl
That girl who was knocked down
But she learned to get up
Everything is easier said than done
But I know how it all feels
For this is a letter to that girl
And that girl is me

On Adversity

Adversity is part of our lives. There is no one who has never faced a hardship in life. This poem attempts to show the lessons adversity has to offer.

Poem About Facing Life's Challenges Courageously

in Poems about Life Struggles

Adversity brings out the best in you
It often helps to find something new -

A hidden talent or clears a doubt

Adversity brings out the best in you
It often helps to find something new -

A hidden talent or clears a doubt
Or you understand what life's about

Adversity nourishes you to become strong
It helps to reach where you truly belong

Adversity makes you tough and wise
It shows where your strength lies

Adversity is nothing but a stepping stone
To a path that seems rugged and unknown

But if you let courage be your guide,
And can take things on your stride,

Don't get dejected and continue to fight.
In the end, you'll see hope and light.

Poem About Surviving Tough Parts Of Life

Be brave.
You already are.
Look at what you've made it through.
The wounds of your past have healed.

Be brave.
You already are.
Look at what you've made it through.
The wounds of your past have healed.
The seemingly endless chapter has ended,
And those bruises have faded.
The battle, you survived,
And you are still here.
Be brave.

Moving Toward Temporary
- By Sadwick
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2021 with permission of the Author.
Moving forward is hard. I've lost a meaningful relationship, careers, and even hope. Yet although the struggle of life can try to push me down, I think it's important to remember life is like the seasons. Although there may be a rough winter, spring is always right behind it. Life moves on. You keep moving forward.

Moving Forward In Life

in Life Lesson Poems

Sometimes your best isn't enough
And happiness comes after sorrow
Life isn't always going to be rough
Yet, I can't speak for tomorrow

Sometimes your best isn't enough
And happiness comes after sorrow
Life isn't always going to be rough
Yet, I can't speak for tomorrow

Love doesn't come for free
And hard work is sometimes fatal
Forgiveness isn't always easy
And wars can be mental

We know living can be stressful
And it's hard to see the blessings
In all things, try to be thankful
And try and find a silver lining

When pain is persistent
And the hurt seems too heavy
Remember you are resilient
And this is temporary

Freedom
- By Haleema
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 31, 2023 with permission of the Author.
This is about the doubts people have about themselves. We underestimate ourselves so much that eventually we begin to feel that we are nothing and have no purpose. We fall into an endless void of fear and pain. I will show you the outcome of breaking your silence and speaking out against your own uncertainties, screaming and shouting out that you are important. Once you have conquered your insecurities, only then will you experience the true tranquility of freedom in your own self.

Poem On Overcoming Your Doubts And Being Free

in Inspirational Poems

One day,
She will break her silence.
She will scream.
She will shout.

One day,
She will break her silence.
She will scream.
She will shout.
She will break down her walls.
She will drown the doubts in her mind,
Shatter the chains that bind her,
Burst through the ropes that pull her down.

One day,
She will sing her song,
Speak her words,
Paint her art.
She will lay in the shade of her trees.
She will sleep in the comfort of her night.
She will dream in the arms of her thoughts.

One day,
She will be free.
