I suppose it isn’t easy to wake up and find the spark.

To always find the words to uplift and encourage oneself.

I want to leave a mark,

An impression on myself that won’t fade when it’s dark.

Yet everyday seems to be a reset,

Another start to find the spark.

So, I’m gonna try.

Try to find the beauty inside and let it shine.

It’s okay if I stumble and fall,

After all, “inner beauty too, needs occasionally to be told it’s beautiful.”

Perhaps one day after enough reminding,

I, too, will be able to stand tall and know it as if it were innate.

“Inner beauty, too, needs occasionally to be told it’s beautiful.”
