I wish you could focus on your own beating heart. I wish the words of others lacked the ability to travel to your ears or simply bounced off the shoulder of your sweet heart.

When will you decipher who you really are? 

How long will you allow external entities to dictate the flow of light and the rhythm of energy within you?

How can you give something else or someone else the authority to determine your next breath of air or your next smile?

Who always comforted you when you shivered with sadness and cried yourself to sleep in the early hours of the morning? 

Who held your hand when you were tugged and pushed around by the thoughts of your harrowing past?

When life decided to calm its wrath, when the dust finally settled, who helped you gather the broken pieces of your will to look up and go on again?

Regardless of the names coming to mind or the final answer you are attempting to roll off your tongue, you cannot deny the fact that the only constant in life is YOU.

YOU have been there for you. You are the only one who has been through every breath, every blink, every gasp, and unfortunately, every single tear that silently rolled down your cheeks. 

No matter the stares no matter the whispers, I want you to stand tall and walk through this life knowing that you were once faced with tackles and blows that were meant to diminish and eventually extinguish you beyond repair, yet here you are, despite it all and have reached an elevated form of yourself.

It is time you gather enough strength and fortify yourself against all that has the power to cause tremors in your world. 

Seek for what ignites the sparkle in your big bright eyes. Latch onto what loosens your tense shoulders and frees your doubtful thoughts. Liberate your dreams into reality instead of restricting them to your slumber. 

You, your heart, and your mind are all the ammunition you need to face any future combat life throws at you.

Look to yourself, You are your own driving force to reach the peaks of your inner peace and contentment.

You never needed to prove any point to any person then or now, and that is the joy of walking forward with the knowledge of your truth and knowing you are ever ready to be your own reinforcement.

All you need is to fuel your heart with blood infused with love for yourself, to fill your lungs with deep breaths of hope, and to your mind with care for your thoughts.

May you always remember you are all you ever needed or need today and always.
