The resiliency of your inner being is the guiding force to your life,
No one knows who you are better than the voice that speaks to you;
The voice that comforts and dictates the steps you take to strive,
Because you are your own sole purpose to guide through.

If you’ve made mistakes in the past,
Remember that they will always constitute your future,
But the ability to forgive yourself is existent and vast;
Don’t believe what others say; listen to your heart’s composure.

Honesty is the emotion one feels when the truth hurts;
The truth that we hear ourselves speak when we lay at night,
The truth that breaks barriers within ourselves and never stops short.
The truth that does not conform to other people’s standards of right.

The voices of those who speak against you, of you, without you,
Unsound in reason, driven by unjust feelings and afflicting,
Don’t define who you are, your goals and your capabilities to construe
A meaning to life with your head up, without bending.

Those who attempt to tell you who you are,
Do not understand the conscience,
And its powerful playing part
In delivering more balance.

Those who doubt you, do not know you,
Do not wish to understand your hope
But rather place their faults onto you,
And look at you through the scope.

Do not fail yourself;
Just listen to what you have to say,
Listen to the reality itself,
And live each day.
