Glow Up the Universe

Glow up the Universe
By Michelle Morris

The one who tries to lock you in a cage
Is the one who is most afraid of the bars
The one who tries to dim your light
Is the one who has none of their own

Look to the horizon and your future
Embrace your choices and liberty
Enjoy the freedoms that you're granted
Love the moments and the memories

Don't let anyone make you feel less
Than your unique, amazing self
Shine brightly and light up the planet
Let your soul glow up the Universe

The one who tries to steal your stars
Is the one afraid to share the limelight
The one who tries to bring you down
Is the one afraid of their own shortcomings 

Let no one lessen the beauty of nature
Let no one limit your opportunities
Let no one make you feel less worthy
Let no one create doubt in your heart

You deserve a beautiful life
Filled with love and sweet dreams 
You are blessed by the Universe
Starlight and stardust and moonbeams
