This week’s story spark was Someone Says… I chose the writing prompt – Don’t Give Up.
Don’t Give Up
My best friend just stood me up
Don’t give up
I’ll never make it to my destination in time
Don’t give up
My refrigerator just died
Don’t give up
It’s not a solution. It’s just another problem
Don’t give up
There is not one positive thing in the news today
Don’t give up
Why are all those people against me
Don’t give up
I have no purpose here?
Don’t give up
I’m not different from you. Why can’t you accept that?
Don’t give up
The world is coming to an end
Don’t give up
Is this the way it has to be?
Don’t give up
We live in a place of change.
Things do not always stay the same.
There are hills to climb and valleys to fall into.
Yet we continue to survive.
There should always be hope.
There should always be perseverance.
There are always ways to make things better
But you have to want it.
You have to take the time
You have to be part of the solution
You have to listen
You have to respect
You have to accept differences and seek out truth
You must show compassion and empathy
You must model the world you want to be part of
And most of all,
Don’t Give Up!
