Motivation Poems
Bleed to Succeed
by Somali Mukherjee
The way to success
Is stony and full of thorns;
We’ve to bleed, for sure.
It Is Best To Get Up
by Fayad Jamis
If you can't sleep, get up and browse.
If you do not know death follows learning to love.
Dawn does not close your world: outside there are stars,
hospitals, huge machines that don't sleep.
Outside are your soup, the warehouse that feeds your senses
the wind in your city. Get up and turn on
the turbines of your soul, do not tire of walking
everywhere, scoring the latest filth
that you left your land, because everything is transformed
and you no longer have eyes for the abolished horror.

My Earthly Heart - Alexis karpouzos
by alexis karpouzos
Love, aren’t you the one who lights soul’s fire?
My earthly heart gets cold
but I sustain the shivers boldly.
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys
and shores of universal life
and play with pebbles of destiny.
Your sky is not blue
by Pihu Pihu
I Love you,
Baby, YOUR SKY IS NOT BLUE,
b'cuz I know what all you have gone through!
I wish you always smile,
b'cuz even it's for a while,
It's special and I want to capture it all in a file.
All your smiles and miseries,
are all there in my memories.

The best race hasn't been run
by Khayelihle Bongiswa Gamedze
Don't let down your guts when you feel beaten
For the best race hasn't been run.
The best book hasn't been written,
The best work hasn't been done.
The tallest cliff hasn't been climbed yet,
The cutest baby is yet to be born.
The fearsome storm hasn't been seen yet,
The best work hasn't been done.

My Excuse
by H.L. Montague
My Excuse
I scroll on to the next post on Instagram, the ten hundredth time that day,
I don't know what I'm looking for but I'm sure this isn’t the way
To find it.
I’m itching to get up, to run, to lie in a bed of wilting, overwatered green grass.
But I sit in my bed still, scrolling through Instagram.
I know I should do homework, I should get it done so that
I can write.
But homework won’t give me what I’m looking for.

Messages
by Adam Radke
What happens if nobody reads this
This message, this articulation of thoughts
I’ll only have myself to thank
For me I’ll write then
This won’t be so vague
I’ll be concise
It’ll be so opaque
People aren’t nice
If you want to teach

Dream
by Bharati Nayak
Dreams are like mirages
You see them,but rarely catch them.
When you get near
You will see the reality
The same hot sand dunes
Spread beyond horizon.
But,dreams keep you moving
Unless you have a dream
You have no motivation

The blessings of heaven - Alexis karpouzos
by alexis karpouzos
Better than grandeur,
better than gold is the shrine of love,
the haven of life is a heart that can feel a woe in affliction’s hour,
better than pride and vanities is the balm of a tender hug with its soothing power,
when all decay and fade away trust the blessings of heaven.
