Poem

As a Person Thinketh

Believe in yourself.

The oak never asks permission to grow.
The sun never asks permission to rise.

Why should you?

This world is waiting for your words,
not another echo.

For as a person thinketh,
so they become.

Think greatly.
Speak truth.
Leave something behind
that outlives your heartbeat.
