Sareeah Keelyn - Persevere

In the throes of life
spark wild desires
spread rapidly, like fires
Life's puches
can get you down
follow your hunches
so as not to drown

You can swim through inky water
Your brain has sight
where your heart has will
While you may teeter totter
at the edge of despair
It's in yourself that you will find
the courage to move forward
even when you are blind

Rely on your senses
Those you love
are your defenses
When you can no longer see light
They will fight
to bring you back
expect attack

True friends, loves, and family
never give up, passed realms of sanity
Live life as never before
through even the never ending bore
No one leaves the globe of life alive
Nevertheless, strive
to imprint yourself
among the many
beyond the few
to things you dreamed, but never knew

The feel of love is powerful yet
do not forget
the things of import
Leave behind the greedy
too long spent can brew the needy
The world is yet to be saved
our situation grave
Fear is healthy if overcome
to the love of power do not succumb
Live purely and give freely

Do what is right
despite
what you are told
Shame feels cold
Live your best
You cannot redo this test
life is not always a jest
Laugh, love, be yourself
nothing else
is of greater reward
