To inspire

-Rei

For years I tried to enquire

How to be the one to inspire

My own youth and peers

Please latch onto our fears

Go on, hold them tight,

Find what lies in the right.

Learn the right lessons

And not give in to our confessions

In my own youth,

I feared all truths.

Everything I went through,

I couldn’t see anything thorough.

All I learned were lies and hate,

I let no one try to investigate.

I learned to treat others better then myself

All the while torturing in-self.

Over time I healed over wrong.

Like singing, differently, on a bad song.

Even through help from friends,

I couldn’t wait for a conversations end.

Although, with them, I healed right,

With a good heading in sight.

Casting light in an old darkness,

I let friends in with kindness.

And after a long recovery,

I can see my self happily.

It only takes time to repair.

Open up to your despair.

Show it no more fear,

And then you may steer clear

Of the darkness that nips your heels.

Teach others about your fears.

Only then can you open your eye

To see all that will help or even try.

Open to them as they do for you.

You will learn of much that friendship can do.

In the end, your family is your shield.

Whomever that may yield.

Either by blood or not

You’ll find what you’ve sought.

Be happy and be free of thought

And love will flow throughout.

Take these words with the utmost truth.

I’ve seen many who it’s help sooth.
