Reach Inside Of You Poem by Michael Peterson

We all wish for something better
Spouse, job, money, love, companionship
Some never find what they think is better
When it's right there in front of them
Cherish what you have, not what you think you want
For karma can bite you back harder than you dream
Money, unwanted love, crowded friends don't make happiness
Rather fix what you have and be happy with yourself
Cause in the end it will make you a better person
Inside and out, it will be the true you
Faking a better life only diminishes your true self
Learn to work around you misfortunes
Sometimes our minds tell us there a better life out there
But to tell the truth, with a little help of love and support
You will see your life isn't as bad as you think
Family and friends and strangers will show you the way
Happiness starts with you, love will grow with life
You will see, some have been there and worse off
To find your way, reach inside you and search your heart
The real you will come out and you'll be stronger
The will to change and rebuild a stronger life will emerge
You can do what you want to do, courage and confidence
Are the answers you search for, are here inside you?
Mind over matter and pride over the pain will change the soul
For in you are a person, someone loves you dearly
Remove the hate and the lies believe in yourself
Deep inside you is the rich person alive
Share your life, live it and enjoy it
Your answers will be found thru love and support and happiness
