Inner Strength, Inner Power and Endurement
Photography by - @jeronimorubio
This set of poems is all about you as an individual. These stories are about the strength and power we all have within ourselves. You were born to be great. Believe this. You are a miracle of life. It is the choices we make in life that keep us from achieving this goal of greatness. It is the way we choose to live that prevents us from achieving our goals we have set for ourselves.
You are the power that will make this world great. You are the voice of reason that will change the world for the better. You are the spirit within that will lift others into the beautiful sky of success. You are the heart that will renew love for all on great mother earth. You, only you. One person at a time. One spirit at a time. This is when the “chain reaction” will set in and go global.
They say that “one person can’t make a difference so why try”. This is the true form of giving up. This is the true form of losing faith. This is the true form of disconnecting yourself from the magnificent universe. This is what the governments of the world want you to believe. This is why the world is breaking into pieces. To many have fallen into this gloom of doom. But I tell you this day. “It is not your fault. There is another power fighting to keep it this way”.
But I also say this “We, as one people, as one united nation, as one spirit, can change the world if we come together and show the true strength we really have.” But it must begin within one's self. We have to believe in ourselves first. This is where the change for the better will begin. This is where the true power lies. This first poem is about the struggles of life and how many live today. But, there is a voice inside us all telling us to be strong. Encouraging us to move forward. Helping us to believe in ourself. But we must listen. Then and only then, can the transformation begin. This is entitled “Another Soldier” by Jeronimo Rubio. I hope all of you enjoy it.

“Another Soldier”
Wake before the break of dawn,
In a mirror I see my face.
Lines cut through my once young skin,
Working at a quickened pace.
A magical path that I once knew,
When I was little and growing up.
Now 40+ hours are beating me down,
Tears of frustration now fill my cup.
Routines in a matrix setting,
Red pill, Blue pill, which to take?
Walking mindless robot unit,
Stuck In society’s mind controlling lake.
Falling deeper into the madness,
Slowly drifting far into despair.
Losing ground with every step taken,
Into the devils evil demons lair.
This is not the path you’ve chosen,
You have been lead into this doom.
In a box without a window,
Captured in this padded room.
But wait, a voice, so bright and wondrous,
Calls out through the blowing wind.
Beckoning you to stand up straight,
For now your true journey will begin.
A new bright light does now shine clearly,
Within your eyes and in your soul.
Waking up your inner power,
Helping you to bare your load.
Rise up now and make your way,
Stand up now and take your place.
You are strong, now time to show it,
Another soldier to protect the human race.

This next poem is about the power of one. One voice, one heart, one song, one spirit and so on. You must believe that “the power of one will always become two. The power of two will always become four. And this can happen through infinity.”
For it takes one to gather the wood and one to start the fire. This is when everyone will enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings. We all have the power of one within us. We must let this power show. Shine like a bright star in the sky at night. Explode like a great volcano onto this earth. Move like a great wave across the sea. We have the power to do this within us all. And it is time we all stood up and made a stand for the greater good of all.
You’ve heard the term “rise to the occasion”??? Well, it is time to rise and stand strong against those who would oppress us. Who would come against us. Who would try to keep us down and in our place. Keep us locked up in a cage like a spiritless bird.
This next poem is entitled “Within”. I hope you enjoy it.

“Within”
Within one song a blessed moment begins.
Within one tree a forest will forever grow.
Within one smile a friendship will start,
Within one star a guided light will show.
Within one voice a community will build,
Within one vote a world can change.
Within one laugh a sadness can be broken,
Within one decision a life can be rearranged.
Within one word a goal can be achieved,
Within one heart a love can be renewed.
Within one breathe a life can be reborn.
Within one life a world can gain new view.
With every brand new day, a new life can begin,
A new soul can be saved, a new goal can be completed.
A Community can be built, A brand new love can start,
A new vision can be seen, A new heart will be seeded.
It all begins with you. It all begins within.
It all begins right now. Don’t spread your love to thin.
Show it to the world. Spread it every where.
Show the world your love. Show them how much you care.
Be a shining example. For both the young and old.
Show them who you are. An ancient power of old.
Love your self today. And all the world will see.
That through our inner love. The world can be set free.

So now we have reached the end of the stories and this poem is about you and all that you have done. Everything that you have accomplished and how you, as an individual, has made the world a better place with your actions. How you have touched the hearts of so many along your path. How you have gathered your army of soldiers to fight along your side and make the world united once again.
This is your moment to shine and endure all the fruits of your labor. Stand proud and be happy. For you have done what you set out to do. You are a force of nature that is to be reckoned with. You are strong within and without. Your aura is a beautiful rainbow of colors. You chi is stronger than it has ever been and you have renewed a powerful love across the world.
This next poem is entitled “Endure”. This one is for you. For your courage and strength. For your accomplishments and your battles won. I hope you enjoy it.

“Endure”
You’ve seen the battles. You’ve won the war.
The time has come for you to endure.
You will not fail. Success is near.
No doubt to feel. Not a single tear.
You will never say, it can’t be done.
For life is to short, for doubting toms.
You’ve open the door to your success.
Your life’s complete. You’ve done your best.
So stand up proud. You’ve done so great.
No more to fear or show up late.
Your hope is strong. Your faith unbound.
Your love is timeless. Your vision been found.
Your scars have healed your strength has grown.
Your mind is set free and you’ve achieved your goals.
You’ve made this world a better place to live.
You’ve given your all that you had to give.
Because of you another has seen the light.
And now they stand beside you in the fight.
You’ve stepped it up and done your part.
You’ve touched so many other hearts.
You’ve seen the battles. You’ve won the war.
The time has come for you to endure.

Such a fantastic poems. Believe on your own self and inner power is very important to face any problems and difficult situations in life. If you believe on your self and never underestimate yourself then surely you will come out with positive results.
Thank you so much @invrovert-dime. I truly appreciate your words. Yes, always believe in yourself for this is where the true power exists. Have a Blessed Day.
Those words in your first poem stands out as a golden ray of sunshine. It reverberates in my head.
The last poem: thank you. One becomes a doubting tom if no-one ever tells you that you have done well. And I did. I do. I will always do. I firmly believe that the tiniest good that one person does, has a ripple effect that touches those near you, ripples further to your surroundings, your country, the world, the universe. All is not lost if we keep on working towards the good.
Once again, beautiful writing, @adsactly. I hang onto your every word.
Thank you so much @minnaloushe. I get my inspiration from all of you here today. I am so happy that you truly enjoyed the poetry. It is because of all the awesome comments like this one that I am able to write as I do. Have a Blessed Day.
This is a wonderful collection of poems, they are all very inspiring. I particularly like "Within" as it's harder for me to connect to soldier or war analogies... I still appreciate them and their rhythm is good, but I like the idea of building over fighting, or maybe I'm looking at it wrong...
"Within", however, repeatedly emphasizes the value of every "one" (one day, one tree, one person) as an ancient power; every one atom adds up but there must be ones, not zeroes to add up in the first place. Very spiritual; thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much @motordrive. I am so happy that you were inspired by my poetry. It is wonderful comments like this one that inspires me to continue writing. The "Power of One" is the ultimate power within us all. As one will become many which create the "Unchallengeable Power" Have a Blessed Day.
Beautifully written my friend. I enjoyed reading all of the poems.
It is true that we as individuals and as the people, can and will change this place into a free and sustainable one. We have a power within ourselves to share it with the community to grow together and be more powerful as ever.
This is a lyrics of a song by Damian Marley and Nas, it really resonates every time I hear it. It got a deeper meaning and it really tells u about the power within us and that we can easily change the world if we come together.
Every time I read post like these, this quote comes to my mind. It says a lot about the basics of the nature of a human. It is in our DNA that when we work together we achieve great things. More to that we achieve them with less time, which brings value to another level.
My favorite poem here is ''Within''. The idea behind it is marvelous and you brought it to us so vividly. The simple things can turn into life-changing things, isn't that beautiful? The wholeness is compiled of small details, but when those details come together, they change the future.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts from your heart @jeronimorubio. I really appreciate it and I enjoyed reading the poems and the story behind it.
Much love, Luka.
Thank you so much @whack.science (Luka). I am so happy that you truly enjoyed the poetry and the stories. From the heart is where we all should speak from like some of your favorite quotes you have mentioned. And thank you for how well you described in your words what the poem "Within" means to you. It is the little things in life that are more important than the big things. I believe that it is the little things in life that make up the big things. All things that are big and powerful are a collection of little achievements and success stories compiled together as one. Much Luv back at ya Luka. Have a Blessed Day.
Thanks bro, glad you shared this with us to remind us exactly this!
Have a great day!
Very well said! We are strong and powerful species if we know how to master our brain.
Lovely photos! My favorite is "Another Soldier" it is very meaningful. It shows the love between different races and animals. A moment of love and peace where nothing else matters, other than joy.
Thank you so much @hanen. I am so happy you really liked the poetry and photos. We are all powerful within, this is true. We must let it be seen by the world. Yes, the photo of the soldier shows the love that should be shown to all races of people. We must love each other. We are born into this world in many different places. But it is the love that we all share inside that makes us all connected. Have a Blessed Day.
Indeed! Thank you and enjoy your day too :)

This really made much sense.......
"But it must begin within one's self. We have to believe in ourselves first. This is where the change for the better will begin. This is where the true power lies."
I couldn't agree more, change starts with oneself and spreads like a wild fire
Thank you so much @joshuaetim. I am so happy that you enjoyed the poetry and the message. Yes, change will always start deep within our self. Then we can channel this power to do great things for all the world. Have a Blessed Day.
সব কিছুর একজন মালিক আছে যিনি উপরে থাকেন উপর থেকেই সবাই কে সাহায্য করেন।আমরা যখনি বেশি বিপদে পরি তখন তাকে বেশি স্বরন করি।কিন্তু সে সব সময় আমাদের সাথে থাকেন
You are absolutely right @justfell. We always have a Superior Being (Great Spirit, GOD, etc.) with us always. I am happy you stopped by. Have a Blessed Day.

Hello!
Good post!
Man is by nature a strong creature and adapts to everything, our species can all, we are unique ..."we must not forget that we are human beings, we must not forget about mercy and love ...And always remember that peace is the most important thing for all of us and for all living beings...Peace to all...:):):)
Thank you so much for your kind and very intelligent words @yanabrui. I am so happy that you truly enjoyed the poetry and lessons today. I will take your beautiful words inside. Have a Blessed Day.
wonderful poetry my friend @adsactly hats off. I think poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
Thank you so much for your kind words @khanshinwari. You are so right about poetry starting from an emotion. It is the way we feel in our heart that helps our thought pattern to find right words to share with the world. Have a Blessed Day.
indeed! thank you
In my opinion, if this article were divided into small parts, it would be more useful because every part of it has a story rich in hope and with every dose that strengthens the hope and is renewed.
Great article but too compressed
Thank you so much @devana for your kind words. I am happy that you enjoyed the poetry and the stories. I can see your point of view for the poetry and stories being 3 separate entities. I hope you stop in again for the next series of poetry. Have a Blessed Day.
The first Poetry where the overlap between the tone of pessimism at the beginning to end with a large charge of positive energy, where I like your saying:
"Another soldier to protect the human race"
The second Poetry begins with the positive charge directly, but gradually in the narrative of the forces of hope to end with gold tips where I liked your saying:
"That through our inner love. The world can be set free"
The third Poetry combines success and continuity, between experience and continuing to work in hope where I liked your saying:
"Because of you another has seen the light"
But the common denominator among them all this amazing combination of doses of optimism, all of which end with a positive positive strong impact on the recipient.
This is my humble opinion of this brilliant Poetry .
thanks
Never underestimate a man who is ready to make use of his brain after a fall because with the brain and creative potential at his disposal he can recreate his world even better than the former. Thanks for sharing @adsactly
Thank you so much @samtexprints and it is a pleasure to see you here again. Thank you for your continued support. It is because of you and all of the people here today that inspire me to continue writing the way I do. Thank you so much for your words. Have a Blessed Day.
It is so true, we are all gifted with an inborn strength and power to succeed in life. But why people fail is because they refuse to rise up when they experience a fall..A fall is simply a steping stone towards acheiving great result and success in life..Nice poetry @adsactly..

Hello @jeronimorubio, I'm new on the platform and for things like this is to encourage me to enter, your words are inspiring ... I liked the poem "Inside." I will continue reading you ... there is so much in us but we drown in silly things and we do not let our being flow ... Blessings!
Thank you so much @enilekcays. Welcome to the @adsactly poetry corner. I am happy that you enjoyed the poetry. Have a blessed day.
Thank you for sharing @jeronimorubio.
When I have read the first poem Entitled "Another Soldier" The only person who goes through my mind was Adrew Garfield who was the main character of the movie "Hacksaw Ridge".
The movie represent how would faith make you strong. It doesn't mean if you have gun, you are bold. What is real? If you have fight you could do anything that you can by means of good sake for others. In this movies you wuold see how the main character love his enemy by enjecting a morphin for the pain to relieved. His enemy want's to claim his life, still he claims his enemy's HEART.
True life Story Event
In the second poem Entitled “Within” all of the lines hits a bunch of inspiration to me, but one line strikes me the most "It all begins with you. It all begins within". In my opinion the line want to tells us that we should begins to stand with ourselves do something to happen and the nation would follow. It all begins with us, deep within us. It is the matter of making not just laying in our dream, but deal to real. Leaders serve on people.
The third and final poem Entitled "Endure". It allows me to be motivated, dedicated, and be passionate in all of thing that I'm doing. Make Never give up form is a habit. Never because your near for what you ever called success. Because you touch another's heart, they will accompany you to make your fight wins. One of the best that could be your shield in any blast is God. And we should always lay from his promises, He will never
Thank you so much for your great description and kind words @brapollo29. I am so pleased that you enjoyed every one of the poems and was able to put your own meaning to them. Have a blessed day.
Such an honored @jeronimorubio
The poems are really amazing, I could tell that every line come from the heart because the message of the poem spears through my heart. Very well made and I know sir @jeronimorubio spent not just hours, nor mind but also his soul to the poems. I am so blessed and I salute you so much sir @jeronimorubio.
After reading the first poem "Soldier" I was reminded of our veterans who fought in the war to protect us civilians. Being in the war is not a joke or a fantasy. I have seen movies after movies and documentaries about wars and I could feel in my heart the life of a SOLDIER is not easy, everyday their life is at stake, every single of good moments are seize because they don't know if they are still alive in a minute or two. Fear is eating every glimpse of hope they have to come home.
source
It takes a lot of courage to stand up and fight at the very start of the day. So your poem is an encouragement in what they needed the most.
I also see myself at the second poem "Within". I know that everyone is a light to someone, an encouragement and a model. I know that something is great within me, that is needed to unlock. That is why I like the tag line of NIKE "Just do it" because I know I have the capabilities to do what I want and to make it happen. It just that fear is holding me down.
.jpg)
source
The hardest part is to take that "First Step" to achieving a dream and your poem "Within" just nailed what everyone needed most to be encouraged to start making our dreams happen. Believing in ourselves is the key to make that first step to success.
I am also encouraged with the poem "Endure". It is like "Believing in your self" is the fuel and "Enduring" is the engine to reach one's dream. I remember a line from a book i had read "Champions are not made in the ring, they are made in the training".
source
Yeah right! How they endure all the intesive trainings, they are champions already. The weather may be gloomy but "endurance" will make it bright as day.
Thank you @jeronimorubio for making these encouraging poems. I am always inpired by @adsactly.
Godspeed.
Thank you so much for all your amazing words and the way you described the poetry as it's meaning to you. I really like your analogy of each poem. Very well put. Very well done indeed. Godspeed to you as well and always Have a blessed day.
Lovely peom, i read them in deep thoughts with sober reflection to the meaning of each line,as it sink down my heart.
Please more, more of the same is all i ask!
I love it, keep it up.
Thank you for stopping by and reading my poetry @bosscharlze. I am very pleased that you enjoyed the poetry. Have a blessed day.
what a wonderful poems . :) You made me realized that in order for you to conquer all the battles in life the first thing you need to do is to believe in your self! !Same as what Henry ford said “Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right.” Self confidence is a powerful thing.
Thank you so much for your kind words @janesmy081316. I am so happy that you enjoyed the poetry and lessons it provides. Self-confidence is very powerful in all our lives. Have a blessed day.
This is truly an uplifting piece. Just WOW! I must say that quite often I identify with your first poem. Things can seem so overwhelming to the point that you just wanna throw in the towel. This world is a matrix of sorts and it saps your energy so fast.
That, however, your following poems convey that all is not lost brought me to that place where I harkened back to the greats like Chief Seattle, and MLK and so many others whose names we will never hear. People who were selfless enough to sacrifice and help propel us forward.
This can be counted among the great words that we as human beings know will carry us into a much better world.
WoW. What a great honor it is to hear such Power words of Encouragement @nickolas83. I am humbled by your words. I to have related many times in my life with the first poem. But I live the second and the third more often than the first because of words like yours and everyone else here who encourages me to continue on in life. To do something for the greater good of all living. Thank you again so much for your wonderful words. Godspeed and Have a blessed day.
a poem ... a conscience .... an inspiring spirit to make life more meaningful. thank you very much for sharing.
Thank you for your very kind words @sisaifulbhri. I am so happy that you enjoyed the poetry so much. Nice to see you here. Have a blessed day.
after seeing thise i am a new folower of you,,,,,,,,,,,/. :D
And I am so happy that you have chosen to follow the @adsactly Poetry @brandenstark. There is so much more to Adsactly as well. I hope you continue to stop by. Thank you for your kind words. Have a blessed day.
I was browsing the poetry section for new poets to experience and found this. I had no idea what adsactly did, I’m still not sure. Unfortunately, I cannot pop onto discord to check it out since I’ve temporarily restricted myself from participating on most discord channels — I was being unproductive and needed to be quiet.
I didn’t expect a post like this from the adsactly account. But I was really touched by your words of encouragement, and the poetic pieces you used to underscore your sentiments. It was a strong reminder to be resilient to who you are, and not let the behavior of others, and most importantly, your own negativity defeat you.
Thank you for the powerful reminder. It all has to start within you.
WoW... Thank you so much @linnyplant for your wonderful words. I am so happy that you found this post. It is an honor to write for all the world. I enjoy sharing the feelings that live in my heart and I am humbled when it helps others in life. Thank you for reading and I am so happy that you enjoyed the writings. May all your journeys be happy. Have a blessed day.
@adsactly poetry is not my strong because I never understand them but yours is clear, you transmit the message, you elevate people to his standards, thanks so much. Please keep writing the world need more poetry is time to grow in this decadent world. My favorite was the last.
You will not fail. Success is near.
No doubt to feel. Not a single tear.
Thank you as well for your amazing words @ladyfont. I am so happy that you truly enjoyed the poetry and the lessons of life shared here today. I will continue on because I have so much support from family and friends like you. Have a blessed day.
@jeronimorubio Nice thanks for your answer

Интересно!
great post
wow what a great post. keep it up. i'am always with you.
I don't know about your government, but mine has thwarted efforts of many strong youths, weakened their strong willed mind and heading to shatter their long desired dreams. This is happening and we cannot help it.
The strength withing is a powerful force. When joined together with the rest, could be unimaginably powerful to make a change with lasting effects BUT when the government that controls the system is not able to provide adequate platform for you to exercise your strength as a human force, failure becomes almost inevitable. Yet rising above this failure makes you exceptionally strong.
Thank you @adsactly for sharing. The poem is simply motivational and excellent. I love the rhyming too.
There is an owner of everything, who is above everyone, helps everyone from above. Whenever we face more danger, he makes more repetition. But he is with us all the time
The within poem really thrilled me... Thanks for the inspiration Sir...
great poetry post. i love poem. thanks for @adsactly

Advice.. less cliche and not as much repetition would go a long way.
