IB year 2

Link to this poem

Bound in chains, held up tight The world held its reins, denied me light. Each passing second carved me thin Until I had nothing more within

It broke through me, shattered my fame It got me down, seized my flame No light, not a ray Just an evil bark engulfed in dismay

But when it all vanished aghast Rose a faith to flabbergast And when the end remained face-to-face The flame it lit, burnt ablaze.

No force remained to keep me bound No weight remained to drag me around The world that ruled, now understands Its my time and its I who commands…

When the winds chase you to the edge, When your fears break your pledge, That’s when you’ve got to make the choice, Listen to your heart and ignore that empty noise.

Jump and rise! To see you zenith, you’ve got to experience your demise, Because when you choose the difficult path, You discover success’ addictive wrath.

Stumbling you shall fall, But lift yourself and stand tall, Because the toughest story, Contains the most magnificent glory.

Caring, sharing and supporting your friends; That is fine, but it might come to an end. When you are low and blue, Your heart feels broken into two, Friends may or may not be there to fix you.

Maybe once, maybe twice, You will have people by your side. But to prepare for the last time, Learn to be alone.

Push your self, motivate yourself, Because if not someone else, You will always have yourself.

We all live in a world so full, All negativities gathered up. We might go down on the way, But to stay on track, we must get up.

You might have goals to fulfill, You can get some help too. But it will last only, If you change yourself into someone new.

It is not that no one is there, They are the sticks that support us, But the actual strength comes from within, For which lifting yourself is a must.

There are people to push you low, But it is you who decides to go up or down. People may kick you or prick you, But it's you who has to move on.

With little sparkling eyes, I see the world outside, Trying my best to chase others' praise. But why am I trying to prove it when I know myself.

It is me who lifts or pulls myself down, It is up to me to build a life for myself.

There are friends, But where are they when I cry? At the end of the day, It is up to me to decide, How I want to live my life.

Life is so bright, So shine like a beautiful light You have to choose your own desire, So don’t stop to admire.

Teachers are the ones who’ll show you the way, But you are the ones who will choose how to stay No one will come to you to console, You’re the one who’ll play the role.

No one will lend a helping hand to you, You are the one who has to make do Someone will fight, they’ll leave you in fright, But no one will show you the way to the light.

Don’t stick to anyone like a glue, And don’t tell anyone you don’t have a clue Don’t let your energy go slow or low, Because you only have to move your boat and row.

Rise up high, The limit is the sky, We might fall hard, But it’s never too late to restart.

Whenever you lose, It's your choice to choose, Choose the path that’s right, Put all your efforts and might.

Keep going forward fast, Leaving and learning from the past. Lift yourself by yourself, Become a winner for yourself!

Self motivation is very important, And being inspired should not be forgotten. Do our best and touch the sky, Don’t let your inner strength die.

You are the one who matters the most, Be the inspiration, and the host. And whenever you feel sad or depressed, Lift yourself and get impressed.

There will be ups and downs throughout your life, Still, Be focused with your full mind. Lift yourself, By yourself, And reach the highest shelf.

Tick tock -tick tock , Tick tock -tick tock, The time runs in its own way, And the sun spreads its rays throughout the day !

When the right time comes, We have to lift ourselves on time, Our mind is our enemy as well as a friend , So follow dharma and be kind !

Don't do this mistake in your life, Never give up, The time won't wait for you , Lift yourself by yourself!

Tripped in a cell, in your comfort zone, All because of your weak, soft tone, “Can you come out?” is the question, And hard work is your solution.

Lift yourself by yourself is the task, “Can I do it<” is the question you ask, Honestly, wisdom is our inspiration, Touching the sky is our aspiration.

Struggles and ruggles were the things we faced, While trying to win the race, Lift yourself by yourself, It is your inspiration!

‘Lift yourself by yourself’ A sentence so bright, Believe in yourself and get up in great sight.

If you are sad Don’t get mad. Understand the situation And make a quick decision.

Life is like an ocean so wide, Like waves going up or down anytime. But just remember To lift, believe and understand yourself!

Each day I struggle, Many problems I juggle. Step by step I rise, With hard work I get a prize.

Lifting myself higher, To get my desire. With confidence and determination, I solve every situation.

I try my best, and when I do it, In the end I don't have any stress, Although I don't move according to life's perfect stencil, I make my own drawing with my own pencil.

As the sun rises up high, With your dream touching the sky Lift yourself up and high, By yourself in the sky.

Put the grip so tight that, You will get in some fight Fight yourself so good, Burn the darkness in the light.

Lift yourself so high, That you will touch the sky By yourself do the work, See the way how it works.

Lift yourself as much as you can, By yourself as you can In the way you will face obstacles, Don’t get yourself tackled!

Lift yourself by yourself, Never give up, no matter the past, Live free and do your duty, Then you will get the rest.

Never cry if you’re in pain, Always stay strong, Then you will surely gain, Lift yourself by yourself.

A time full of hardships, Where no one is there to give tips, People just force themselves to feel, To never let that pain heal.

Someone shouts for you to hear, Lift yourself up oh dear! People won't always be there, You yourself have to take care.

Thus,understand one thing Only you yourself is he king, Because no one will be there to lift you up, You yourself have to lift the winning cup.

I lift myself day by day, By myself every day, Step by step i make my mark, I will become a brilliant spark.

Strength thought and strength in will, The guy who climbed the highest hill, Not just a name up on the class, But pride and pride and spirit with best .

I have courage, valour and wisdom, Doing correctly and giving the best , Don't be like a slave, Be like a blade.

Never give in To the toin and din

Move ahead with determination To reach the final celebration

Liberate yourself from self-doubt Fill yourself with motivations loud

Rise and shine and get to work Achieve your goals and at opportunities you must perk

Continue to persevere As no effort is ever mere

Always have faith and hope Only then can you cope

Aspire and inspire forever more “From hard-work and effort you should never get bored”

Lift yourself, by yourself Play your role and be yourself

A tree grows but it doesn't need strength, A river flows but it doesn't need help, So lift yourself up not for someone to see, But for your present and future self to be.

Ups and downs will always be there, Not for you to be in despair, You have the wit you have the will, You just have to find the right way.

Someone hit a six you didn't catch the ball, Dont give up try harder and stand tall You can't always stay too dry Try to light up the pretty sky

You fall down and you stand up, Pain makes you stronger so glow up, When you’re gonna bloom with positivity, You can lift yourself and forget the negativity.

When you’re all helpless in the night, It’s all dark and you’re finding light, No one’s coming, so stand up straight, And finally by yourself you make it right.

Read something meaningful, Not something pitiful, These words are not random lines, I hope I can make better lives!

Lift yourself by yourself, Like the way you never say. Hear the thunder feel the roar, You will rise more and more.

Be helpful, be kind, Everyone will help you day and night. Nothing to dare, nothing to be scared, Chant the lord’s name and be cared

Try try but never cry, Like the lion in the sky. You are the best, you will be the best, Lift yourself by yourself

Life is like a flight of stairs, Sometimes bad and sometimes fair. Even if you are a tiny elf, Keep believing in yourself.

Always stand up when you are right, Forever courageously you should fight. In the field when you are thrown, You should win whatever you own.

When something goes wrong in the ride, For sure you will need a guide. If you want to reach the highest shelf, You will have to lift yourself.
