The Climb

Climbing up this mountain
Gripping trying not to fall
I put aside all my fear
I will not be overwhelmed by it all

The sun radiates down
And the wind whips across my back
I feel my heart beat faster
And then my body starts to react

My grip gets much tighter
My feet lock in place too
I am like a little spider
Trying to climb out of a glass of juice

But yet I cannot give up
And I will not give up now
I reach up ahead of me
And I never look back down

I keep going til I am almost there
And then my fingers bleed
But this is just one trouble
I will have to suck up indeed

Hand, Foot
Hand, Hand, Foot
Seems to be the pattern of the climb
And then I feel a blade of grass
And I know the win is mines

Life is full of challenges
Some are mountains indeed
But just have faith in yourself
And always believe
Believe that you are capable
Believe that you can accomplish all
Because you will be surprised at the things you can accomplish
Even though they are so tall

They always said I couldn't do it
They said it was too much for me
But I have climbed a mountain every day
And the mountain is the one who faced defeat

Life is full of challenges. Some are big and some are small. Sometimes we complain about hills in life, and fear the mountains because they are so tall. But every goal can be accomplished, and it all starts within you. For you can complete any climb, if to yourself you are always true!!  -Monica Renata

A New Truth {Just Something on my Mind}

This is a piece I found that I wrote in 2008. I read it this morning and surprising I kind of feel the same way today. If all the negative energy was used for something positive, then so much could be accomplished. -Monica Renata


Quite frankly, I have been surrounded by so many negative people that I am shame to admit that I know. It appears that everyone has a problem with EVERYONE ELSE, and they can't seem to get along. And then I am put into the middle of the situation, and forced to choose a side. Everyone always gives me the excuse about, "Well who did you know for the longest?"........Well I thought about this like for so so long. And I couldn't even find the correct answer to this question. What am I to say? I knew you for two years but then I know the other for about one year. WHATS THE DIFFERENCE, I have no clue......But yeah, I finally found the answer to that question, and the answer is OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THIS WHOLE WORLD, I knew ME for the longest.

I am sick and tired of people who want to always constantly go at it with other people. It's like WHAT IS THE DEAL???!!!! If they took all of this time and energy they use to be mean and disrespectful to others and do something productive, just imagine the possibilities. I am also tired of people just downgrading each other for doing the right thing. I don't mean to call anyone out, but SO WHAT IF I GO TO CLASS EVERYDAY!!!! I am paying for it, kinda. Besides, I do not want to be a NOBODY for the rest of my life. I am on a mission and I expect to reach my ultimate goal by 2015 {I know that is a long time, but I know what I am doing}.

I just don't understand.........Why does everyone have to be against each other? Why does some call others LAME just because they are doing the right thing? Why is it disregarded as nothing when someone finally achieves something that took so many long hours and dedication to obtain? Why do so many people create problems in their lives then a year or two down the road want to regret it?

All I am saying, is that some people need to think. For a long time, I thought the problem was me. However, I realized that EVERYTHING cannot be my fault. I try to make the world a better place. I lend a helping hand to all who ask for it. I try to be a friend to almost anyone who is willing......I just don't know..........Maybe I am too nice, but I do not think that anyone can ever be TOO NICE.....But we need to just get our act together. Stop being against each other. And try to work together for a better future.......I know that this whole thing probably was kinda cheesy......and some may be like "Oh, Monica needs to just shut up"......But truth is truth....Some of us just really need to get our act together.

Can't Bring Me Down

I can't give up
I can't let disappointments get the best of me
Sometimes I may fall.... 
But I have to get back up
I must get back up!!!
I can't let the world break me. 
I can't let them break me down
They can't
And they won't!!
I will rise up
stronger than before
stronger than I have ever been
Today opens up a new chapter
I am changing the end of my own book of life
Sometimes it is great to go astray
And that is what I shall do 
No more holding my head down
No more feeling ashamed
No more being untrue to myself
I have to make it 
I want to make it
And I will not let anyone bring me down this time
