When you think the whole world has turned against you,
Take a step back and don’t stop believing,
Let them say what they think is true,
Imagine the unimaginable and don’t stop breathing,
For there are mysteries waiting to be unravelled,
Make the impossible possible and don’t stop dreaming,
Life will knock you down every now and then,
It is okay to make mistakes,
Failure is the only way to ensure,
That you learn and succeed,
So that indescribable feeling you feel,
When madness embraces you,
To breathe magic into emptiness,
With which you can conquer anything,
Walking on the path towards your destination,
And every time you stumble and fall,
You know you can rise like a phoenix from the ashes,
‘Cause that is how it is supposed to be,
So when you think the whole world has turned against you,
Take a step back and don’t stop believing,
Believe in the miracles and believe in yourself,
Believe that your dreams are worth living,
So while you stand at the edge of the earth waiting to jump,
Your dreams somehow keep you from falling,
Now that you have lived the dark and experienced the light,
Don’t give it all up because you’re tired of trying,
Remember, it’s always worth a try,
Remember, you don’t need wings to fly.

This is great…I recently heard a talk in which someone talked about that increasing the number of times you try and end up failing actually increases the chance of success. I really like what you wrote here, Naima…Keep it up, please Cheers =)
Fail, fail harder.. Deepak chopra wrote a book about the gift of failure
You are right: failure is a gift or otherwise we would never learn. Thank you for stopping by.
Warm Regards,

Oh really? Thank you, I’ll have to look for it. =)
I have heard that people usually seem to give up when they are almost there and so I don’t think “giving-up” is for humans anyway.

Strong powerful positive words 🙂 And one should always believe in higher energy, that leap of faith when things are a tad confusing. At the end, every thing falls in its right place 🙂 Naima this is pure & awesome 🙂
Thank you Darshith! :)) I apologize for taking so long to get back to you.
-Naima
No problem Naima 😉 I know you must be busy post exams 😀 because I be more busy in weekend than in week days 😀 keep enjoying your holidays !!
Ahh, I know right! Well, I spend time sleeping (lol). Thank you and you keep enjoying your weekends! 😀
-Naima
Yes weekends are busy but no less than blessings 😀 sleeping is fun but I just hate sleep because I fear that I will miss out on something good if I sleep for long & hence sleep is what I avoid the most 😉
You avoid sleep or sleep avoids you? I don’t think I miss out on much (other than Netflix) if I sleep for long hours.
-Naima
Oh yeah good question !! Sleep avoids me because I avoid sleep 😉 forget Netfix because you can download things @ will 😛 let good things as sleep come for as long as possible 😉 if sleep could come in a switch with On/Off condition 😛 and I dont know what I m blabbering as I m half asleep 😀
You better sleep then 😀
-Naima
Yes will sleep just after I reach home 😀 as its weekend night out with friends is like a chore 😀 and then sleeping during the day time also 😛 you should also enjoy 2nd fav hobby ie sleep as I hope WP is the No. 1 😉
Nice positive word. I’m inspired. lol
Thank you :))
Kind Regards,

Wow! This is so inspirational and powerful. Especially loved the line “Don’t give it all up because you’re tired of trying”.
I am gonna bookmark this to read during the hard times. 🙂
You are so kind with your words, Shreya. I apologize for taking this long to get back to you, I was caught up in exams. I hope you are doing well.
Much love,

It’s okay, I get it, Naima. 🙂

Thank you Shreya! :))

This is painfully beautiful, and yes love, giving up is not an option, ever. You’re strong and wise ❤
Giving up has never been an option, we always have to dust off ourselves and get back on the track after falling down.
-Naima
We do, life is an uphill struggle love.

This is like my soul in a poem. I relate to it so much I can’t tell you. Thank you for writing this. Truly. I needed this.
This could be anybody — we just always have to keep moving on (with of course a belief to never stop believing in ourselves :)) )
-Naimaa
Reblogged this on Penning, Venting, Singing. and commented:
Note to self: Always remember this.
Oyieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! This was something I really wanted to read from somewhere– I have been into reading more of inspirational books these days, especially from Robin Sharma. I needed a change apart from what I had been through. I’m extremely glad to read this from you, Naima. It’s purely illicit thoughts. But don’t you majority among us lack this attitude you’ve mentioned? And a few survived in life due to a mere factor of ‘luck’?
~ Rahul
We do lack an attitude of believing in ourselves and looking ahead of ourselves but sometimes reminders are good. This poem was just a reminder not for anybody but for myself. Once in a while we can always deviate from the right track and with time I have realized, one person that can encourage you fully and save you from anything is you yourself. Everything cannot be merely luck, hard work is required no matter what. Some people don’t even believe in destiny while those who do knows that destiny on its own cannot reap any benefits. Hard work and determination is an essential.
-Naima
Greater words have never been said great piece very inspiring
As always Sheldon
Thank you Sheldon.
Kind Regards,

Optimism is an ultimate savior, I can’t agree more(:
Thank you for reading and for your comments.
