I've Learned... Pieces of Dawn Poetry

I’ve Learned

I am afraid more than I care to admit,

I feel insecure and often feel like I am breaking.

I find it hard to give in and submit,

I habitually feel forsaken.

Even among all of these feelings,

I know that I am here for a reason.

I have learned to appreciate all of my blessings,

This is my time to capture the season.

I have learned to get up and start anew,

Just as the Phoenix rises from its ashes

In order to succeed I often remind myself of my virtue.

I am learning to feel brave more often than afraid,

Through confidence I am repairing the breaks;

I will not yield and refuse to be frayed,

I have learned that God does not make mistakes.
