Life beats down and crushes the soul but art reminds you that you have one. -Stella Adler
He who lives upon hope will die fasting.
-Benjamin Franklin
If you're absent during my struggle. Don't expect to be present during my success.


If the future's never promised
why do we have dreams?
If no one thinks we'll make it
why do we still believe?

If the presents just a portion
of this thing we call life,
why can it cause us
to feel so much strife?

If the past is behind us
but the memories still stay,
how can people tell us
to forget our mistakes?

We believe we will make it.
We learn from our wrongs.
We know we'll move forward,
cause we know where we belong.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

Like Kenzico said, "Beautiful!" Powerful! And I think wat you're writing about in your poem is hope! ^_^ thank you, for sharing this!
