Inspiration


We all have a spark
A glimmer
The beginning of an eternal flame
That rages inside us all
 
Mine is unlike no other
Yet it something the human race desire
Something we crave
Something we want to have
 
I am inspired by love
By hope, by dreams
By faith and joy
It all owns a part of me
 
I am inspired by the dark side
Of this world 
Inspired to be greater than it
Inspired to try just a little bit harder
 
Inspired by the need to be just a little bit stronger
Inspired by the need to pass with flying colors
Inspired by someone I don’t want to live without
Inspired by the person who has claimed my heart
 
Inspired by the love that sparked 
In a choir room, at the back
When the teacher wasn’t watching 
When two hearts became one 
 
I became inspired when my heart stopped
Started beating for him
Inspired when the stars and moon were put in their place
Inspired when he smiled my way
 
Young and in love 
Experienced and learning
Hurt and healing
Forgiving and forgetting
 
Inspired by the boy who wears lavender and leather 
The boy who’s favorite color is light blue
The boy who’s different than the rest
Inspired by the love from the boy right next to me
Inspired by the love that drives me
