beacon of hope

I choose to be a beacon of hope.

To represent beauty in perseverance.

A seed has laid dormant for many years.

It grows through the cracks in the concrete

and blossoms into something bold and vivid.

I choose to hold my head up high

to radiate optimism and positivity

and attract the people

that resonate with my energy.

I choose to tap into my joy

and my childlike sense of wonder.

I choose to thrive - out loud and proud

despite living in a society

that wants me to do the opposite.

I choose to be bold.

The light cannot exist without the shadow.

And the darkness in the world exists

because we were meant to shine so bright.

I choose to be a positive example

to the next generation

that’s uncertain about their future

and teach them how to tap into their power.

I choose to be a beacon of hope.
