Inner strength

I need to find my inner strength
I look strong on the outside
Inside, I am weak
Why do I wake up?
Day after day?
What am I living for?
My strength will not come from another
Nor from material posessions
It comes from within
From my very core
I have many dreams
And need to decide which are worth persuing
What keeps me going?
It is me
I am weak
But strength is there
How do I become strong?
Fight
Everyday
For what I want
And not settle for less

The overriding sincerity of your poetry is still here, but in this your theme is a bad starting point, and your execution no better. In writing the common themes of life, we are in the company of the great poets, who take hearty laughter at our work. There isn't enough here; yet another case of true feeling making bad poetry.

[ot:20e2fe6159]Please don't post more than one poem at a time. To give your work the attention it deserves, allow time between posting material.[/ot:20e2fe6159]

All I get is your personal need for inner strength which I'm sure is important to you at this point and time. But for poetry to work I think you need something else.....inner vision.
