What we perceive as our limit
is merely a barrier to be broken.
Potential sleeps in everyone
waiting to shine and be woken.
Rise out of darkness into light,
for it has already been spoken.
Life gifted us all something rare
so redeem that special token.

Awakening potential is a test,
one we may never achieve.
Destiny demands endeavour
to challenge what we perceive.
Hard hits on the way to glory
shall be softened with reprieve.
Cast out all apprehensions
and let the impossible conceive.

 

 

K.G. says…

I read through everything I’d written up until this point and realised none of my poems were particularly cheery or positive. [I’m not a completely miserable guy, I promise!] Consequently, I decided it was time to write something a bit more upbeat and encouraging.

Truly, I believe that no one is utterly hopeless in this world. We are all created with a degree of potential for us to unlock, if we choose to. That’s why we shouldn’t underestimate anyone, even if we are currently better than them, because we don’t know what they will achieve or be capable of in future.

Most importantly, don’t underestimate your own self.
