My Ultimate Inspiration
Life is beautiful she says
while having tears in her eyes
I wonder how she can still be so strong
even while life is doing her all kinds of wrong
“You only live once” though a cliché doesn’t sound like one coming from her
I realise how the life we have the honour of getting only once, to me is all a blur
Her words like no one else’s are impactful
They inspire me, they have a certain pull
“I’m so thankful to god,” she says
Somehow still finding the positives
focusing on how much worse everything could have been instead of how bad it currently is
I realise the need to count my blessings, be grateful always
Her words motivate me like no one else’s
to be the best version of myself, get out of this phase
She’s nothing special, she believes
I wish she could look at herself from my eyes
shes always names countless people whom I should get inspired from
without knowing my ultimate inspiration
is her, my mom
the beautiful woman from whom I’ve received my life’s blood
I don’t know if through all these years she ever realised the person I wanted to be most was her
