It's all within me
All throughout my life, I wondered why I couldn't seem to fit in.
I thought it was my skin,
was it face,
my waist,
or was it me?
One day this old lady spoke,
she was like sixty,
I never thought she was so wise.
She said, "God made you who you are, and it doesn't matter what others think you are".
Then, My first gut feeling was to get awayy
But, I disobeyed, and realized I should stay.
She continued to say, "You are smart and gifted, and no one will ever be on your level".
I shed a tear but, later on that year,
I found out the importance of that little old girl, ME!
I have always been inspired to make other smile,
and I realized if I could go the extra mile,
to excel and write,
my life goal would be complete.
At times, I felt I was no one.
But, Now I know how important I am,
through my writing and expressing my feelings.
The time is now!
Figure out who you are,
it doesn't even matter what your mother thinks.
Time is only moving,
so keep striving.
