A Struggle 2 Stand Up Poem by Ashley Silvestre

A STRUGGLE 2 STAND UP

photos cant replace memories

like a crushing pain cant be erased easily

even tho u try hard to hold grip on the tip of the mountain

its tempting 2 look down. so suddenly fall

u cant tell ur mind what to forget, and ur heart to stop loving

once u fall in love//it will be hard to fall out

love is so strong and deep//that u dont ever see a sudden part.

like da ocean is so long and deep. u cant find the end of it

u tend to think it will last//u will have 2 be carefull and keep ur eyes open

love is blind//so dont let it take over u//and blind urself into thinking what 'love' realy is

like a deep feeling inside u cant explain//or emotions u can help but 2 have

when it crashes all down//it crashes u down.

feeling depression with stress//asking urself why/how? did it fell apart

tearing n tearing; then gushes of tears run down your face. Non-stop.

like a stormy rainy night//theres no more sunny bright days. because of the storm that wont go away.

feel like pain become ur friend//and happiness became ur enemy

without a healing//u wont be the same

trying 2 change the present//cant because of the same ruitine u were used 2 from the past

struggling 2 swim back up//but cant because of things holding your back down

looking up to the sky//praying for strength

because without it//u cant continue

like a fish swimming around the big sea looking for something new//but how when the fins are filled with hurt and pain from the damages//hard 2 swim//hard 2 get through the things standing in ur way

feeling abused//neglected//asking yourself '? did he cared? '

with a damaged heart that needs cure.

the only way youll know how strong u really are is when staying strong is your only hope to get up from the struggle
