Standing On The Beach Poem by Arielle Perkins

Standing on the beach
Sand between my toes,
What lies of the future?
Who will come and go?
The sun beams down upon me
As I raise my head and look
at the vast ocean before me
It’s size, which I mistook.
I feel so insignificant
Compared to this great expanse
What difference could I make?
Will I even be given a chance?
I realized then while standing there
That all I have to do
Is let mind guide my heart
And it will pull me through
For strength and inspiration
Are not material things
They come from deep inside of you
They give your mind its wings
So whenever you’re in doubt
And you begin to stray
Listen to yourself
And the answer will come you’re way.
If only you believe in you
He can make your dreams come true
For no one else can do it
The power must come from inside of you.
