I Won't Give In.

Topic: selfstruggles

I won't Give In.

I won't give in, I won't let the fear win.
I know the goal, and what I must do to hold the gold!
It will be a long journey, one with twists and turns.
It will be tough, it will be hard, hot, a horrible trial to behold.

I won't give in.
It's in my sight, a beauty to behold!
It's in my cross airs, waiting for me to pull the trigger.
It hurts to go on, the pain is unbearable.

I'm tired, ready to give in, ready to give up hope.
Just when I do, my heart says no!
It's so close, within grasp, your so close!

I push on, even though every muscle is tired and sore.
I'm so close, just a little further, now is not the time to desert my goal!

I did it! I have it in my hands!
It feels so good.
It's so warm, in the palm of my hand.
A beauty to behold.

Now that I have my prize, what am I to do?
It's not what I thought it would be.
It's not as grand as before.
In fact, now I'm bored.

I'll tell you what, the real fun was the pursuit!
The flames that I had to endure!
The challenge, that was the gold, the real jewel!

A lesson learned, that's for sure.
I will learn to relish the challenge that sits before me, whatever it may be.

What is that I see? It's so beautiful.
A shining jewel, off in the distance.
Now that's something I want to hold!

Let the journey begin, I know this much, I wont give in!

I think you wrote this quite well. Poetry is in the eye of the beholder, to some it may not be a grand or moving as it will be others... either way you have an audience out there that I believe will like this as I have. Don't discredit yourself that fast, give it a chance and you might just be surprised.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
