THIS IS THE FIRST POEM THAT I EVER WROTE. I WROTE IT DURING A TIME OF DESPAIR. YOU CANNOT CONTROL MUCH OF WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU IN LIFE. HOWEVER, YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR ATTITUDE. YOU CAN CHOOSE TO RISE ABOVE YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES AND REFUSE TO ALLOW NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES TO UNDERMINE WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE. THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE MOST OF BAD EXPERIENCES ARE THE ONES WHO FIND CREATIVE WAYS TO MEET THEM. THEY SEE POSSIBILITIES WITHIN THEIR PROBLEMS. I HOPE THIS POEM UPLIFTS YOU. PLEASE SHARE. I LOVE YOU.
