Hold On

~To the pain that made me stronger,
~I will never give up

Before you start:
You might be struggling, and that’s probably why you chose this book. Or you probably are interested in the title and want to know what's in here. Just know that these poems are ten reasons why shouldn't give up, and at the same time, they're reasons why you might want to give up. I know that not all of our struggles are the same. I also know that you might not relate to each and every poem. It’s ok. We’re all individual beings and we have different and unique experiences. Know that even if you couldn't relate to ANY of these poems, you're not alone. There's always someone out there that relates to you.
Stay strong…

Reason 1:
Alone…
In a crowd of people
Feeling empty
While all the feelings are surrounding you
Irritated
Without any specific reason
Feeling hopeless
Although you’re the most hopeful person ever
Crying and burning inside
Missing every precious moment of your life
Not knowing what to do
Not knowing why to live
All that,
While nobody’s beside you
Trying to heal yourself by yourself
Trying to achieve your goal with all that pain
And finally, still standing although you’re falling apart
For what?
For that dream that’s going to rescue you from your nightmare
The dream that'll make your world happy again
Where you feel loved
Where you feel safe
But a question still wanders in your mind
How?
You are very lost on the inside
And the outside
You don't know where to go
Or who to tell
How is everything going to ever fall in place
When everything is out of place
When your last bit of motivation was spent on making a cup of coffee
When nothing is alright
The question still remains
How?
How will anything get better
When it's all just bad
You still don't understand
Yet there's a fiery passion inside of you
But you still haven't discovered it
Nothing seems to be going right
It never did
Yet something still tells you that you will be okay
There’s still a reason
An unknown one
But it's there
You have a passion
But you still haven’t discovered it
The time hasn't come yet
But indeed,
You’re going to change a world
Even if it was yours
Because
In this world
We all have a purpose
And it is
To rescue a soul
Even if it were our own
