Inspirational Poetry
Why Don’t We See the Light?
We spend so much time focusing on the negative
Twisting, dark, and daunted roads
see shadows all around
so many blocks our path
so much gets us down
Always screaming, hating ourselves
see all that we do wrong
blinded by the darkness
inside, all withdrawn
We spend so much time focusing on the negative
but why can’t we see the light
why can’t we see the lightForget that with perspective things are relative
how do we know we’re right
how do we know we’re rightWhy can’t we see the light?
why can’t we see our brilliance?
why can’t we see our light?
But what if our focus changes
what if we go outside ourselves
released from the darkness
released from our cells
Loving, and appreciating our life
see all that we do right
embraced by our magnificence
rise to a new height
