Because I Do Poem by Izobelle Pulgo

Because I Do

Rating: 2.0


I don't do fancy writing
I don't even write things
Good enough to be read
But I write what I feel
And I put my heart into it.

More often than not,
I'm disappointed
Over something I thought
Is okay
But I forget about it
I move on
Though how heavy my heart is,
I couldn't say.

I just trudge on
Because this is my dream,
My dream.

Dreams could be shattered,
I know that,
And I could be broken,
I know that too.

BUt if I don't move on
And continue to work hard
For my dream
Even if I'm not destined to succeed,
I would be nothing more
Than an unjustifiable existence,
A burden to the people I care.

And so I will continue writing,
Even if I grow old,
And fail,
For trying is a better option,
Than not having to work for something
At all.

remember this quotation from a modern Indian poet 'Perhaps the best thing to believe is that one is bad, but not bad enough to give up; and also that one is good, but not so good that one can’t improve.' continue your dreams, continue writing... appreciate life no matter how cruel it is but it is still a wonderful world to live as long as you know how to love. keep up the good work, well done. take care always kababayan.
