Poetry: Fighting spirit

by Shaheen Darr

Created on: January 04, 2009   Last Updated: September 14, 2010

When you find it hard to raise your head

When you just want to step back and not look ahead

When being good enough just seems a lie

As it is hard to look the world right in the eye

Then it is time you started looking within you

It is time you looked around with eyes anew

And changed things before it is too late

To find that strength that lies hidden in wait

Like the phoenix rises from the burning ashes

Intact and complete, ready again to flourish

Revigorated to build and renew, so it can inherit

An earth that will be alive, filled with positive spirit
