Look for the stories

That breathe fire

Into your listless soul,

Look for the stories

That inspire,

The stories that send a thrill

Down that dark hole

Void of hope,

Which you haven’t

Been able to fill,

No matter how hard you try.

Give yourself a second chance,

Lay down the melancholy,

And choose to dance,

To retreat

And find your peace.

Shirk the shroud

Of ignominy,

Wipe the unbidden tears,

Quell the deepest fears;

Shed it all –

And instead,

Breathe life into a story

That’s different,

And full of glory,

One that’ll make you proud;

Write a story

Like only you can,

Know it is your right,

For this is your life.
