Alexis McWhorter shared a letter in the
Chasing Your Dreams group 4 months, 4 weeks ago The Road To My Future
Alexis McWhorterThis road im on
It’s a wild ride
But I’ll keep riding until Dawn
Pushing into being an adult
I try to make wise choices so that I see the result
Reminding myself daily it’s alright to be full of love
In a sparrow world, I can continue to be a dove
Confusing as it may be;
I still desire consistency
I choose to make myself proud and others as well, my improvements shall be loud!
You will make it…
I will make it!
Telling yourself in the mirror so to your changes you must commit.
The goals may change but the outcome shall remain the same.
To believe in thy self
But remain humble as to not put myself on the top of the shelf.
Never let emotions lead the way, for going forward on the path is how it has to stay.
I never fit in with girls my age, always dared to be different,
But I have slowly learned that is actually magnificent.
I was once told by someone looking into my eyes I would never be enough,
Little did they realize that would allow me to rebuff
To reach my potential and accelerate is what I choose to do,
For my dreams I want to pursue.
Seeing my patients pass away with the summer in their eyes,
I remember their spirit flies.
For God I shall live,
For myself I have to give.
I will not give up on myself again,
That’s why I have this pen.
The words I write,
Pour out from my heart and I want to shine the light.
Not only for myself but for all who choose to listen.
My future I strongly wish to glisten.
This is so beautiful. There is so much wisdom is this piece.
“Never let emotions lead the way, for going forward on the path is how it has to stay.” … I feel like I remind myself of this every day in order to stay focused on what I want in life.
Anyone who ever tells you that you are not enough is simply projecting their own insecurities. Ignore, and keep it moving. Keep daring to be different! You told yourself you’d make it, but it’s clear you already have!!
Love this poem.

Oh my, I love this. What an inspirational piece. You will inspire so many with this piece, and if anyone reads it and can’t see the meaning of it all, they have an issue. This is a very motivational speech for anyone, especially ones who have low self-esteem, or always feeling down about their life and/or always not feeling what they do in life matters, or just putting themselves down for no reason. You stated you wanted to shine a light and you’re definitely doing that. Good for you!
