The Power Within Poem by Allen Steble The Philosophical Poet

Its a brittle and bitter existence
of desperation and despair
wars and crimes
Brutalities and affairs
A struggle through the barrier
of our electronic cacoons
and the strength to push
is the power within you!

You can doubt it's presence
when you lay helpless on the floor
you can accuse its hand
when your life was empty and meaningless
you can scoff at its wisdom
while it tosses a pinch of salt on your deep wounds
at present you may not understand why you suffer
-because it reveals the power within you-

Sometimes you need to struggle
to grow that little bit stronger
sometimes you must cry your little heart away
before you can treasure the smiles of the next day
sometimes you need to worry your soul to the point of stress
before you can hold the trophy of your personal best
for nothing worth while is ever that easy
no black belt ever came without trial or discipline
life is the responsibility to live, love and learn
but the power is always within you!

You've probably heard it ten thousand times
and you will likely hear it ten thousand more
but it wont sink in unless you open your door
let its message wash upon your hearts shore
embrace its essence to your very core
i'm talking nothing more
than the raging power within you
its really quiet simple
you have the power within you
to do what ever you want to do.

So go ahead and do IT.
