Overcome

**The periods aren't a part of the poem. I just think a poems FORM is just as important as what it SAYS. So with that, please ignore the dots :) **

It isn't that hard,
.....It's just dark.
So be courageous and take a step,
.....Into the light.

It isn't that hard,
.....It's just dark.
.....You can't see.
.....You're unsure.

It isn't that hard,
.....It's a storm.
.....A fight.
.....A struggle.

It isn't that hard,
.....Like a Raven
.....It's Black.
.....Hell.

So it is hard.

But be courageous and take a step,
.....Into the light.
You're only a step away.
.....It isn't enough to endure,
...............You must overcome.

this poem is a strand of cliches that come together and form a bland platitude of empowerment.

..you must overcome.. shown in the end it IS hard..but atleast after you admit it..and tell yourself.. what IS hard about it...and you can get through it....Admit the truth and go blindly into the darkness...as opposed to...standing at the start line...for the rest of your life....I love this..opens the eyes....thank you
