It Comes From Within

Read not this poem for inspiration; Look for it rather from deep within. It doesn’t come from a witty plaque; It’s self inflicted – and that’s a fact. Words from outside may help motivate, But the thoughts you have are what makes you great. Stop waiting for others to inspire you; Believing in yourself is the first thing to do. So take my word and don’t take my word; Make your inner voice the one that’s heard.
