Where is the Inspiration in the World?

INSPIRE ME
When’s last you sat to inspire yourself?
Give yourself free to do your desire
To tackle the drudgery of old
For refreshing the soul to give form to unrehearsed acts
Surprise yourself with a whammy!
Happiness is closer than you think
…a form that is not 2.61 by 6.14 weighing less than a gram
Go on and clean the crevices of your brain
You’ll see you are indeed a pundit
No matter what the voices said
Throw away those false idols
Remodel your goals void of human heroes
Forget the “I wanna be like ____”
Replace it as “I wanna be me”
I am my own hero
I am my own inspiration
I am my own motivator
I am me
Everyone else is just MY cheerleader
And there is no ONE who sets my stage
For I rise to greatness and excel in the custom of my life
A script only shared by two
No standing ovation required by them – only Him

Response by Andreaetta Whaley

INSPIRED
Hey I stand
With my eyes raised nose in the air
Giving thanks to my Father up above
To say thanks to HE who recognizes me from above
That's the only applause
Recognition
Standing Ovation
I need
Forget you haters
Always saying
I'm too conceited
Too arrogant
Take a step back
Let me introduce myself
Just a high level of confidence
I am me, being who "I wanna be"
You're the one with the pipe dream
Saying you wanna be like...
Hell, you don't need someone else to decide
Who you want to be
Just be who you need to be
Like yourself
Be like YOU
And stop waiting for recognition and the acceptance of others
You are who you are
And no other like you
So say and believe that you wanna be you and not he or she
