Poem About Not Giving Up

I came up with this poem one day in yearbook class. We were writing about our theme, which is artist in training, so I wrote the poem out of boredom. But this poem means something special to me. It means don't give up so fast. There is a lot to live for in this life. I recently turned 15, and I have already had my heart broken. But I have good friends who will be there for me. I'm only a freshman, and my life is really just beginning. So I need to live it, every last moment.

Artist In Training

Published by Family Friend Poems October 2015 with permission of the Author.

The paint brush is mine
To have and to hold
As I stare at the canvas
I let my story unfold
I work on my drawing
I dare not cease
If I lose faith
I step back and breathe
No matter how hard
Or tough times get
I'm the artist in training
And I'm not finished yet
