Hey readers! I hope this poem reaches you well, wherever you are in the world. I wanted to do another piece emphasizing how important it is to visualize what you want even within the world's chaos. There will be points when you feel that dreaming seems fleeting and childlike but focusing on making those ideas a reality can change your perspective in a new way. We live in a time where things seem to be as bleak as ever, but it doesn't have to make us feel bleak. It all starts with some little ray of hope. It won't be easy, but I hope this motivates you to seek it out. Peace and love!

A word on changing my thoughts

To a more perspective view

The world itself is quickly turning into

An ever clearer glimpse of

Times such as this

Where reflection is aspiration

Not that of vanity

But an image of deeper connection

To my spirituality

Some may think this sounds "preachy"

While others may see it as "peachy,"

However, I never cared for approval

All I need is belief in myself, it's true

And the support from those I hold dear

In order to build strength and conquer

This world that can sometimes thrive on fear

You must understand the inner glow that you possess

It isn't tangible to many, but as long as you feel it

That energy will never be less

I hope one day, my light becomes so bright

It houses a million,

No, a billion stars like a night sky

I ache to shine and radiate

Like a queen's golden crown and lace

One day, I will be like an irreplaceable painting

Waiting so beautifully in gallery places

The memories of yesterday are replaced

With the colors of today

And, I know that like a coloring book

Patiently filling in the spaces

Makes for the most genuine inspiration

I guess, I am a dreamer, who seems in her mind

Yet, you wouldn't understand a dreamer's space and time

I don't move like everyone else, and I like that just fine

I will be like the Milky Way, so vast and divine
