Hey readers! I wanted to provide some more inspiration for anyone going through a tough time with finding their own goals. It can be a little difficult to not compare your journey to someone else's as I have experienced the same feeling. However, looking into taking care of yourself and being the best version of the 'you' that inspires your soul is the most important. I say this because there is absolutely no one that can dream the way that you do and make those aspirations a reality. Even a small ounce of belief in who you are can be enough to create and instill a sense of courage for anything you want to do. Continue to thrive as you. Rooting for you always!
The way I see my potential
Now, is different from what
It once was in the past
It used to be uncertain
I would try to be like
This person and that person
Yet, I ended up still wondering,
'Is this me? I don't feel it is.'
There was a point when I
Truly believed I wouldn't get
Any of the dreams I've hoped for
Since I was young;
That I still needed to be
Like someone else other
Than myself, other than me
The colors in my world
Reflected those that
Didn't paint in the shades
Where I wanted them to be
I asked in my prayers,
'Will I ever get it right?'
I started to trust inside
Myself, for I created some light
The unsureness began to fade away
The longer my light stayed
There was change that emerged
For I crafted my own path
And listened to my own heart
The colors I wanted and needed
Entered my pallet effortlessly
Almost as if they were patiently waiting
For me to be no one else
Other than me
No longer did I feel
I wasn't doing it right
No longer did I wonder
About another's route
To their dreams of life
My prayers made me determined
For no longer did I question
Why being myself was worth it
I find comfort in knowing
That I am in my way, unique
I will never aspire to be anyone
Other than me
