The Light has come searching

There are perspectives we have and those we find,

You see truth in both, appealing to the mind;

Struggles in yours that wholly define,

Unthinkable feats in theirs that'll bring out shine.

What will you choose today and why?

Glory waits for you to hatch out and touch the sky.

Madness is what they might set out to see,

Let the craziness in you flow;

At least you'll know your soul danced free,

Why cringe, why hide- just let your spirit glow!

Keep singing your song because YOU like it

When people criticize you, your behavior or your work,

You're affected only if you think that they are right.

If you find yourself fighting for your respect- work on it.

You will get to the top of your game, I assure you.

To heal an insult pricking you in the light of the day,

Rendering you speechless while wanting to play defense;

Work away into the nights, not caring for time or sweat.

The effort to clear the scars off your personal record,

Your passion to become the best and your hurting ego;

They'll light up your spirit- you will glow with pride.

You know those times when we dread little things every single day??

It could be an exam.

It could be labor pain.

It could be talking/meeting with someone who gives you a hard time.

Or it could be something as silly as a pet peeve you may have.

Picture this.

Got to be thick-skinned

You've got to be thick-skinned.

It is far better to not know and to have realized it.

You don't want to stay foolish, ignorant and happy.

It might feel like a dumpster.

In reality, you're better now.

Take the opportunity to learn.

Plenty of people pine for what you have.

Strive!

Be the best there is.
