I Found Strength Poem by Devon Sherman

I found strength in the struggle,
Face to face with my troubles,
And I've learned that every tear falls down for a reason.
So don't stop believing in yourself.

I'm not perfect but I'm always me,
So I could really care less what anybody thinks of me,
Because at the end of the day i can only be who i am.
It isn't what happens to us in our lives that determines who we are,
It is the choices we make in how we deal with it that forms our character.

We cannot change yesterday,
And we cannot predict tomorrow,
But we can live today,
So be alive.

Never let one day pass by without a smile,
Look at your life as it is and find a reason to smile,
It's much more productive than looking at what it could have been,
And finding reasons to cry.
