5"/>                                 Affirmation

You will never be perfect

But you can always strive for perfection

You will have your moments of uncertainty

But don’t let that define who you are

It is time for you to raise the bar

Know that you will go far

Only if you believe

You need to always follow your dreams

Stop letting others dictate your future

Cancel out all of the negativity

And do you

Know your strengths and weaknesses

You are smart

You are funny

You are not a dummy

You can do anything you put your mind to

Find that thing that makes you smile

Find that sanctuary where you can stay for awhile

Find that friend when you are lonely

Find the person who can be your one and only

Listen to your heart no matter what

But also listen to your brain

When you are in such pain

This is your life

No one can take it from you

Know that the only way is to lose

Is when you choose

To give up

You don’t believe in luck

You know everything happens for a reason

Don’t stop believing

When your faith is gone

Go read the Book

And look

At those verses

You will see why you’re hurting

You are not trying to please anybody

But you need to start pleasing that one

Person who you have look in the mirror

That one person who loves you

That one person is YOU

Synopsis: An Affirmation is like your mission statement. It is something you read to encourage you when you need encouragement. An affirmation can be a quote, line, a song, or a poem. An affirmation can be original or it can be from someone else, but it has to encourage you. It can be for anything. You could have many for one thing or one for many things. An affirmation is for you not for anyone else. In AVID I had to make one for myself.   It could have been a quote or just one line but it had to do one thing. That one thing was it had to come from the heart and mean the world to me. I have been through a lot growing up and I still have a lot of trials coming my way so the poem is my way of dealing with things. It reminds me of where I came from, who I am as a person, and where I want to be. It also gives me specific things to do when I am feeling down or discourage.  I can use it when I am in college, looking for a job to fit my career, even when I get married. I recommend writing an affirmation because it is something you can relate to when you are feeling a certain way. It something that can make you cheer up. It is something that only you can write because it is supposed to be personal. It supposed to have details and events you went through. It supposed to have things you have accomplished. Most importantly it is supposed to be about you, only you. This affirmation is the second personal poem I have ever written.
