Shine On

Even if obscured by overcast weather, 
the full moon 
still radiates. 

It maintains a steadfast presence 
until the building clouds, as they always do, 
are dispersed by the wind. 

Then the night sky is illuminated once more 
so those fortunate enough to look up 
will be in awe.

Ignore outside forces 
attempting 
to lessen your uniqueness. 

Reject negativity, 
both external and internal, 
that questions your worth.

Share what you have to offer 
to shine on others,
like a full moon.
