You Are

When the misery of this thing called life, grasps your throat tightly from behind. Think not of the troubles you’ve endured, rather trust in yourself and you shall find. Believe that you serve a higher purpose, to which no other shoes could ever fulfill. Have total faith in your personal beliefs, and watch as this grief diminishes at will. You are the most important aspect in life, and your self-worth simply cannot be sold. You hold the only key to your happiness, so use it wisely before you become too old. You see, I’ve lived my humble life for others Daughter, just as I sadly see you doing too, Please don’t lose sight of the beautiful spirit, which illuminates the darkness because of you. Remember to prosper and thrive continually, for the gift you are could never be replaced. Love and respect yourself with great honor, and allow the rest of your life to be emplaced.
