When I Show You My Words.

When I show you my words,
I hope they are little tunnels that,
If you are brave enough to follow,
Will lead you straight to the heart inside me.

The words that I yell, laugh, whisper,
Importantly scibble on an old sticky note,
Come from me and me alone.
They are meant to inspire.

I can bet you anything my words were once
In another form.
Inspiration, that is.

It is sometimes difficult to use that inspiration
In a new, exciting way.
The fear of the words:
"that is so yesterday!"
But, in time, that inspiration will morph
Into brilliance.
Brilliance that you aren't afraid to show off.
Smile big!
Take risks!

    I love that you wrote how inspiration will eventually morph. That was a great line. It makes you think more about how people change.
