United-100 Days of Poetry Challenge: Day Forty Four

[trucklife-family]

United

I stand before you,
holding my head high.
Wisdom gleaming in my eyes,
I foresee the difficulty you have,
in believing in me,
but that reaction,
is just a mirror on how you really feel inside.
Freedom is not something to toy around with,
you will not win it fighting alone,
Who you stand with
helps define who you are
and how you are known.
Your inner wisdom shines
and lightens up the darkness you hold inside,
we are all one and the same
when we choose to walk side by side.

Notes

I consider myself to be a intermediate poet.

Thank you @d-pend for creating this challenge and allowing me to take the time daily to be creative and expressive. I am really happy to have made it this far. I have never had any input with my poetry before, it has always come straight from my heart, on to paper and more recently here on to steemit

Beautiful and powerful words. I think this encapsulates how I am feeling at the moment. So many people want to put you down and say you 'cannot do it', but in reality they are just projecting their own fears onto someone else. I wish we were a world of 'supporters' rather than 'judges'. Imagine what we could achieve!

[trucklife-family]

Thank you, I hear you, a world of supporters would be so empowering for us all, but you know it is happening, small pockets of people are coming together and me and you are part of it being on here on steemit, I really appreciate the support you have given me @beautifulbullies xx

[beautifulbullies]

I need to find one of those pockets around here where I live lol I think I live in a different state of mind to everyone around me! You are right of course, steemit is definitely a positive place, where I have been able to find my 'tribe' :) I am so glad to have met you on here! Thank you too for your support :) xx
