When did you stop dreaming of all that you can be?

And why is it that you stopped believing in more than what you see?

Why did you stop living?

Who put you in despair?

Who dimmed your soul, and left you there…

 In the shadows, hidden in plain sight.

Oh how this world dropped you before you were ready to fight.

 You can do all that you put your mind to.

But, you will have to go against the grain of what they taught you.

Try believing in yourself and having confidence too.

Know that you are beautiful and one of a kind.

Never hide who you truly are inside.

Know that your body is a temple and treat it with pride.

Live each day with purpose.

And never take for granted this thing we call life.
