FRS Assignment #1: This is the poem. nneka

HOPE

This is the poem that comforts you
in the silence of your room
that soothes
because it eases you when you feel frustrated
because it gives you hope when you feel you have hit a dead end

and when you have no where to turn
and you have no one to dump your worries on
this is the poem that illuminates darkness
and takes you to a place where hope fills your veins
this is the poem that lifts you up and keeps you standing.

STAND UP

This is the poem that motivates
in the world of confusion, a society so cold

that includes judgmental, hypocritical, and self-conscious individuals
because influence plays a role in everyone’s life
because individuality is a foreign concept for most people

And when you feel confused
because everyone around you seems lost
this is the poem that breaks you free
free from the negativity that dampers your day in the comfort of your room, house.

this is the poem that encourages you to stand apart from others, show the world who you are.
