41. Unique
Poem About Resisting ConformityBecause I know who I am,
I'm at ease and free.
I can't be like others,
And they can't be me.
I've got fading scars,
An unusual physique,
But it all works together
To make me unique.
I've got hidden strengths,
Some obvious flaws.
Still I am who I am,
For better, for worse.
I don't have to blend in;
I won't live a lie.
I can't please everyone;
I won't even try.
Some call me proud;
Others stare at me in alarm.
But I'm not one to bother,
Because I know who I am.Latest Shared StoryThis poem speaks to me because I used to have a hard time accepting who I am. This is one of the deepest poems I've read yet. But now I've finally accepted who I am. Thanks for the inspiration.

42. Enjoy Life!
Inspiring Poem To Make The Most Of Our LivesLife's too short to be wasted.
It passes just once, so make the most out of it.
Live life the way you want it to be.
Live it to the fullest, feel free!
Live as the sun shines in the sky.
Live as high as the birds can fly.
Live as the colors of a rainbow.
Live as far as the clouds can go.
Never waste it with worthless doubts and fears,
With insecurities and useless tears.

Put away frustrations, sing your own song!
Believe in what you can do.

Think fast, act now!
Time is gold; it couldn't be renewed.
Value experiences, learn from mistakes.
Improve for the better, live for others.
Do what is right and what is best.
Always be yourself, unique from the rest.
Laugh as if there's no tomorrow.
Dance as though you'll never get through.
Love with all your heart and soul.
Sing like you're on the top of the world.
Forget the money, the root of all evil.
Treasure your loved ones; you're lucky they're still there.
Strengthen your faith, live with God.
The best things in life are for free, so why not?!

44. Be The Best Of Whatever You Are
If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley — but be
The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
Be a bush if you can't be a tree.
If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass,
And some highway happier make;
If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass —
But the liveliest bass in the lake!
We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew,
There's something for all of us here,
There's big work to do, and there's lesser to do,
And the task you must do is the near.
If you can't be a highway then just be a trail,
If you can't be the sun be a star;
It isn't by size that you win or you fail —
Be the best of whatever you are!Latest Shared StoryTwo years ago I was in depression and isolated. I felt frequently that I was worthless and deserved no love, no appreciation, no friends. I kept myself aloof from everyone, thinking that I...

46. The Strongest Part Of Me
Even in my darkest moments
I still have that little voice
encouraging me to go on.
To stand up and keep fighting.
To wipe my tears and pull it together.

That is the strongest part of me. -

Encouraging Other To Have A New StartRoll the dice,
Play a new game.
Life for you
Will never be the same.

No aspect of time,

Peace, Love And HarmonyIf I could sing a song for the world, then it would be
A song for peace and love and harmony.
To cherish all the moments we hold so dear
And only cry those happy tears.

To bring together every woman and man.

So they can shine their blessings on earth.
Everyone is born with special gifts sent from above;
It's time to use them all and spread the love. -
53. Brave American Knight
A Forgotten VeteranDriving home one day after hours of monotonous office work,
Saw a man sitting by the road; looked as one down on his luck.
Paid small notice to the figure; my lonely life was in a rut.
He was just another beggar holding out a shiny tin cup.
But something was rather uncharacteristic about this scene.
His old camouflaged fatigues were those of a U.S. marine.
No legs dangled from his wheelchair, but he sat tall, proud, and upright.
Many ribbons bore evidence of America's finest knight.
Walked up to the stranger - what was left of a man sitting there.
No others near, just us two, and the pall of pathos in the air.
His hair unkempt, a shaggy beard, he stared as each car would stop,
Lest he miss a coin or, pray, a bill into his cup one might drop.
In horror saw that the cup was held by an artificial hand.
An ear had been severed; thumb on other hand, one eye was blind.
He acknowledged my presence, tipped his military cap.
As he did, I observed scars occupied most of his scalp.
Asked how life brought him to this intersection on life's highway.
From boot camp was deployed to "play in the sand" in land over there.
"Sir," he said, "From high school my great desire was to serve my country.
Fighting with my buddies one night, my jeep hit unseen IED."
"In flames and smoke I fought to breathe; felt that my life was slipping on.
Could barely hear, could scarcely see, and knew that my right arm was gone.
My head was bleeding profusely; could not feel my legs or left hand.
I begged God to let me die on the sands of Afghanistan."
"The corpsman came with tears rolling down his face and with choking voice,
Said soldier, it's your legs, I have to amputate, I have no choice.
There are other injuries, got to rush; choppers are on our right,
You hang in there, Marine; I salute you, brave American knight."
The more he spoke, the colder the chills that ran up and down my spine.
Thoughtlessness and selfishness exposed a depravity of mind.
Self-pity, self-indulgence, resignation had poisoned my soul.
Changed by man with no legs, he stands ten feet tall on my honor roll.
Perhaps next time a soldier we meet at the mall or on the street,
Honor and salute those who served, even died, that we may live free.
Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Navy or Marine, guards of freedom's light.
Grateful for those who wore the uniform, brave American knights.Latest Shared StoryWhat a beautiful poem. God bless all the veterans: dead, alive, and the ones still fighting. To all of you, a proud salute, my prayers, and love.

54. If You Believe
Striving On With PersistenceWhen your mind is set
On a splendid thing you want to do,
There are some who will shrug,
Like you don't have a clue.
When you proceed,
Some will say it can't be done
And that there is really no need
For you to take it on.
And halfway through,
Some may deem your progress small,
Or others will ask if what you're doing
Is even worthwhile at all.
But when you succeed,
Then with flattering tongue,
The same folks will say they knew
That you'd do it all along.
Now, folks may mean well
When they say it can't be done,
But then who is to lose
If they are actually wrong?
But if you take note of why
Some doubt your point of view
And stick close to those
Who see the strength in you,
If you put your faith in God,
No matter how tough it may seem,
If you work hard, if you believe,
You will achieve your dream.
For what others think,
Whether or not you're strong or smart,
Sometimes, doesn't really count
As what you believe in your heart. -
55. While You Weren't Here
Emotional Poem About Coping After AbandonmentWhile you weren't here
I cried every night.
A million tears fell,
Still my heart wasn't right.
While you weren't here
I did what I could,
Hoping against hope
My decisions were good.
While you weren't here
I gained some in age.
Things just went on
And life turned a page.
While you weren't here
I just tried to go on,
Knowing what didn't kill me
Would only make me strong.
While you weren't here
A whole lot got changed.
My life became different,
My world rearranged.
While you weren't here
I had to learn to be alone,
To stand on my two feet,
To make my own home.
So that's where I am now,
At this stage of my life,
Still scared and alone,
Still coping with strife.
And oh how I wish that
Things could be different,
That I could go back
To a time in the past,
To a time before
You weren't here.Latest Shared StoryThis poem hit me like a truck. My mum's around, but she's never had an emotional attachment to me. My dad's a loser somewhere. I struggle daily with my feelings and am struggling after my...

Strong And Inspiring Like A Mighty TreeStand tall, oh mighty oak, for all the world to see.
Your strength and undying beauty forever amazes me.
Though storm clouds hover above you,
Your branches span the sky
