I was afraid of my own electrifying power
So I eclipsed my light
I allowed life to live me
I didn’t trust myself to live life
Taking comfort in the solace that darkness brings
While pushing others into their self-fulfilled spotlights
The light that illuminates the flaws and glares blindingly
In the mirror of introspection
Helping others, while allowing my own dreams to be sacrificed in martyrdom
Providing artificial comfort opposed to the the prospect of failure
Until I looked into the brown eyes of an innocent soul
Created in my image
Peering up at me with the expectancy for the appearance of my greatness
Its what was whispered into that young soul from her conception
Bouncing off the walls of the womb in a staccato symphony of what would be
So in the face of such innocent revelry
The nondescript camouflage of complacency
Had to be replaced
With an outfit of Divine Design
Reminding the sleeping Goddess within
That light sprang forth from the Darkness
Its a moral sin to hold such greatness in
Shine on!!!
