The Power of Good
The Power of Good
By Arman Hoque
I received a challenge to describe the power of good.
It’s a power I knew I never understood.
All my life, I’ve been drawn by the power of dark;
Hoping it would inspire an internal spark.
Everybody’s good, or so they say.
Everybody lies to keep darkness at bay.
I absorb darkness and spin my own light;
I Create my own version of wrong and right.
I don’t subscribe to your religion, whether it be wrong or true;
I Follow my own path - let me be me - you be you.
Find your own path- your own passion.
The light is inspiration,
For those that seek the dark;
A moment of inspiration when life’s burdens seem so stark.
The light is an unreachable end;
A power upon which you try to depend.
Hope in the light; hope shines better in the dark;
Regardless, this battles no walk in the park.
About this poem
I received a challenge: focus on more lightness in your poetry - instead of trying to seek out horror and disturbing darkness, why not see what you can produce with a focus on brightness, positivity, and a true appreciation for the blessings you have. That’s a creative challenge right there - a poem about gratitude for what’s good, based on your own importance - not what others do for you.
