My Life (Nelson Mandela)
December 15, 2015
Cold dark nights; couldn't see a thing in sight
May God bless my soul
If I may die please take me as whole.
As a leader I feel like I've let my people down.
Once I get out this hell-hole; I'll be on my way to pick up my crown and make my people proud.
As my responsibility I have to courage my people to make success a possibility and never to give up.
Never be discouraged as if you aren't smart enough. Never doubt yourself, you've got to count yourself.
Sometimes I feel like rewinding my life and starting over, like a flash in the past.
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world" follow your destiny and know your worth, because there's freedom of rights on earth.

Nelson Mandela has inspired because he tells you how never to give up, no matter how bad the struggle your going through is. I chose to put his quote in my poem because it is so very true. Education is the most important thing to have in life, because how are you going to succeed? How are you going to get the job of your dreams? there's so many questions you tend to ask yourself once you realize how very important it is to have an education in life now-a-days. There's no good job besides fast a food restaurant that'll let you jump into it, if you don't have experience or an good education.
