What Am I Without It?


Reflection within yourself,

The image what do you see?

An athlete, an actress, an artist,

A nobody, a bland, a shadow.

Breathe in and breathe out.

Reflection within yourself,

Open your eyes, what do you feel?

The Ignition

The Rage

The Urgency

The Heart

Begin the fight!

No longer a reflection, look within yourself.

I am my dream following.

I am my enthusiastic planning

I am my passion.

Without it, what am I?

I am a nobody. 

I am a bland.

I am a shadow.

No longer a reflection, look within yourself.

Feel that power.

Feel that love.

Feel that devotion.

As normal as you may feel,

As Traditional, orderly, and mundane,

You are not. 

You are not a nobody, a bland,

You are not a shadow

You are not a streotype.

You have one also.

You have the gleam, the glitter, and the glow.

Reflection within yourself,

The image what do you see?
