Bright Tomorrow

The pain that comes,
will somehow pass,
a cure for some,
happens so ​fast.
Slowly inhale,
take one last breath,
another fail,
led to hopes death.

Dark bloody stains,
dirty both hands,
life full of strain,
and tough demands.
So hard to show,
what is not there,
a forced fake smile
glows pure despair.

Rebuild your heart,
stitch with silk thread,
create a start,
release the dread.
Find happiness,
in the small things
watch as sadness
becomes extinct.

Take each day slow,
use baby steps,
each new reached goal,
leads to the next.
The fakest smile,
will become real,
as good times pile,
life gains appeal.

– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy

  11. Gesh Grace, there are so many brilliant and relatable lines in this piece. I was going to comment on certain lines that stood out to me, but (I’m being honest here) in every stanza you have managed to weave truth… it’s hard to pick one. The lift and solution you offer the reader at the end is also based in reality… baby steps. Outstanding craftsmanship!

  14. Truly a motivational poem! Extremely beautiful! May I offer a suggestion? Just as how the slowest that one can ride a bicycle or drive a car is a testimony of skill and technique; having perfectly mastered the beautiful expression of pain, sorrow and upliftment, I believe you will absolutely excel writing on more joyful and light themes and topics. Try to consider my suggestion😃. Awaiting a new form of writing and a new form of self expression from you (at least once🙂)!

    1. Thank you so much for your suggestion , Garima. If you look into my writing ,you will notice that 95% of them start out in a not so happy state with some type of resolution by the end. Most of the comments that I receive are based off of the inspirational sense that this brings to others. I also have several pieces that are all positive and pride myself on living and following a positive path. Again, I appreciate your view but would urge you to take a second look at my pieces. Much love to you.💕

    1. Thanks so much, Cindy.Glad you liked it.💕 Sometimes The dark needs to come out too, my friend.It’s all about balancing and allowing your present emotions to run free, after all, writing is about expressing. Would love to read your dark pieces just as much as the bright ones. I’m sure it would be great.💕❤️💕
