you were born with a light
a color inside, that shimmers
meant to become a guide
with unique sparkle and glimmer
and then, life took control
it made you wince just a little
always pushing your pull
like discount bacon on a griddle
you started to settle for gray
forgot the warmth of the sun
a little more everyday
believed the story they’ve spun
denying your color
living lost in the shade
separated from others
just one foot out of the grave
but you were made for much more
the only one of your kind
one like never before
strength and compassion combined
a flower ready to bloom
meant to chase the sun's rays
the effect after the boom
the fresh scent in the rain
so, go on, take a moment
you've got nothing to prove
what you don't understand yet
what this world's needs is YOU!
