Glow

It seems one must try
To stand out from the crowd
Not by being the loudest though
But being proud of ones authentic self

Wealth while they say is grand
Will never get you to the destination alone
And an ego is only a shell
that eventually will crack...

Still, there is something else inside
that cannot be replicated.  
A spark, an essence that is entirely you.
this light, that I feel
In you 
Should shine on the world

Because this light, it is  yours.
And only yours to give.
So forget the money. Forget the ego
Let go. love yourself and glow
 like you're supposed too...
