Keep smiling throughout the day
To keep your tensions at bay,
Like a stroke of magical ray,
To make others happy and gay.

Vagaries of this life can be
Tough and hard to fathom,
And yet have they conquered me?
Look how far I've come.
This is definitely an inspirational poem. Everyone has challenges in life, but how we deal with them is crucial to our own well-being. My favorite stanza was the second!

I live with depravity,
Pressure like gravity.
Why can't they just see
I want to live happily?
I wanna start fresh...
and forget this place, the wicked world I live in,
but not forget how glorious and essential it was to me.
Very good words have been given to the stronger self-discovered after failures in life. Such attitude is essential to keep moving in today's very competitive life.

Wake up from this tragedy.
Breathe,
Return to reality.
Her eyes glowed with such ambition,
And her mouth spoke words of love and kindness.
She took pride in wandering;
She walked to find the places her heart longed for.
Why can't we sleep forever
And live inside our dreams,
Sheltered from the heartbreak
That life can sometimes bring.

One day you're gonna kick your goal.
One day,
She will break her silence.
She will scream.
She will shout.
Roll the dice,
Play a new game.
Life for you
Will never be the same.
Death is an inevitable fate.
Someday we have to go.
You hope you did
your best in life,
And on Tuesdays you must look at
yourself in the mirror and say
“I am worthy. I need to be here.
And I am grateful I am.
In the face of many troubles,
Side by side we will stand.
It's not as though we crumble.
Instead, we gain to understand.
