"A Brighter Day"

A poem to encourage and inspire

By Shameela SegreePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I walk through this life with ease and grace

All of the negativity and pain I refuse to embrace

I've been abused, used and criticized all my life

But none of that matters now

I bask in the glow of being an educated mother and his angelic wife

I'm on a spiritual journey of inner peace, enlightenment and gratitude,

in my solitude

But they say, "Don't talk to her, she's anti-social and has an attitude"

I say, "Misery loves company, and guess what? That company will never be me!"

I'm so highly misunderstood by others but such a greatly empathic entity

I cry and ache from someone else's pain but observe as they disrespect and belittle me

This world that we live in is so corrupt, misguided, cruel and angry

I bow down to the Universe and say, "Thank you", for awaking me and allowing me to see

Now I have conceived my purpose here on Earth

And I know I decided this way before my birth

I'm here to do the best I can with making positive changes

No matter who speaks ill of me or attempt to incapacitate me of my good graces

So I will continue to do my bidding no matter who or what stands in my way

As I invoke the desire to visualize A Brighter Day!
