Inspiration

I light my candle from within Allowing my passion to then begin Sharing a piece of my soul with you Using words that are a little trite but yet true Trying to reach the distant lands from my birth So I'm just giving it a shot,for all that it's worth Hoping to reach the mind of somebody new By giving them confidence that they are not used to Writing with inspiration,a little piece at a time Telling all to go for it! It's your time to shine
