I know a lot of students out there are preparing to start a new educational journey today. Whether it be a new grade, a new school, a new city(or state or country even) a new program, or a new semester. I want to take this moment to motivate and inspire you. The poem I am about to post was written in the midst of one of the most difficult times I endure during my first stint in college. I wrote from my struggles in an attempt to motivate myself. I hope the words have a similar effect for you. Salaam
When…
Have you ever felt like you just wanted to end it all
When you’re caught in a corner and your backs to the wall
When you spent your last dime and worked your last hour
When life’s handed you lemons and all of em were sour
When the bill collectors’ call and you got no words to say
When you wish they sold kneepads in six packs cuz how much you pray
When you feel like Atlas with the weight of the world on ya shoulders
When the stumbling blocks of life feel more like giant boulders
When you earned your last dollar and spent your last dime
When you wanna work extra shifts but just don’t have the time
When all of your options have completely run out
When the rain of Gods blessing are stuck in a drought
When you’ve run out of shoulders to catch all your tears
When twenty-four hours feels like twenty-four years
When you’ve given your all and fought your best fight
When it seems like things in your life will never be right
When you’re whipped and feel like you just can’t proceed
When all that you’ve got is less than all you need
When you hit rock bottom and all you can do is rise
When you realize that God still hears your cries
When you’ve taken the worst and felt the hardest hit
That’s when you give all you got and no matter what…
Don’t Quit.
