Glow From Within

I thought I lost What made me unique Torn from my heart, Locked away in a box With no key to open the lock. Lost within my thoughts, A well with a drought Mine felt half empty It nearly ran out. The nostalgia of my youth The clue to learning the truth, Reflecting in a mirror To see things clearer. Just need to take a step back To reflect on my past Recollect what I knew Remember the things I've loved That made who I am. Then it came to me Like a spark of a flame That grew into a fire Started to rise within me. A special glow of the heart Deep within the soul Luminous light from within Shining bright like the sun. Glowing brighter than before Helping me to unlock the door What was once lost long ago Is now found once again Stronger than before. Fears blowing away in the wind Worries wash down the river No more holding back Going to take the leap. No need to hide myself Time to test my limits To learn what I can do I won't know until I try. Trust the glow within To lead me down the path Dreams waiting to take flight Ready to make the jump. Free to be myself No more hiding Let the glow shine For the world to see.
