Hey Readers,
I wanted to write a piece that pushes the motivational spirit within someone who may need it. There may be a person out there having the worst time and in need of an inspirational word. I hope this poem instills something for someone else in the world. Good vibes to you!
Somewhere, deep inside,
She always knew
The knowledge of what she wanted
And what she didn't
The knowledge of standing her ground
And being firm against those that bend
The knowledge of believing with a firm hand
All of the things she said
Somewhere, deep inside,
She always could feel
The triumph of being able to
Go for what she wanted
The triumph of pushing
Aside all of the doubt she has ever been dealt
There was a point when all of what was told
Doubt or none, was what she believed
It was the negative feeling
Of being unseen
But then somewhere in all of it
Something deep inside
Made her realize that what mattered was
Her constant belief in herself
It was the passion for herself
It was the persistence for herself
It was all of the things she feared to pursue
For herself
And in it, revealed, that
Somewhere, deep inside
She always knew
What she could be
How she could fly
How far she could run
When she could be among the stars
When she would be proud
To realize that deep down inside
There was something
Keeping her going
Keeping her in the light of herself
For this, is what
She always knew
There was, suddenly,
The stripping away of the doubt
The stripping away of the sadness
The stripping away of the negativity
And the constant acceptance of
Loving who she was
Living in who she was
Owning who she was
Commanding from others
To see who she was
And no, it wouldn't change
It would only change if she wanted it to
But not because someone convinced her otherwise
That's what she recognized as acceptance of herself
For no matter who she appeased or not
Who she was, is, and is becoming would be enough
For this, is what
She always knew
