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
