A Girl Can Dream

A girl can dream

Of a guy who’ll make her steam

Of a guy who can make her mad

Even though he’s not a cad

Even when life’s full of stress

Can’t a girl want somebody to save her from her distress?

A knight in shining armor who knows she’s not perfect

And loves her anyway, even when her life’s wrecked

A girl can dream of a white picket fence

Of a guy who’ll come to her defense

Of a guy who admires the girl’s strength, fortitude, and power

Who knows that his girl he cannot devour

A girl can dream and pray

That she’ll get all she wants one day

But until then she’d okay as she is

She’s okay with being a Ms.

To Those Who Give Aspirations As Well As Inspirations

Thank you for inspiring me

For seeing past what the eyes see

Thank you for always being around                                       

Helping me up from the ground

You inspire me each day

You teach me a new play

A new way of looking at life

While dealing with so much strife

As a daughter, sister, friend, cousin and writer

The people in my life make me a fighter

They inspire me with everything they do

So to everyone in my life, I say thank you

Whether you’ve inspired me with good or bad actions

I am inspired by all the interactions

I’m inspired by the love I see

I thank you all for shaping me

I’m grateful for everyone in my life

You cut away the nonsense with a knife

You all help me see clearly

And I adore you all sincerely

Thank you for being an inspiration

You all deserve a standing ovation

For all you do to inspire

In each of you there is something I admire

The thanks I’m giving doesn’t show it all

The love and support you give stands tall

The inspiration and admiration will never cease

And will only indefinitely increase

Believe in Yourself

Believe that you can do whatever you desire

You can be the person they all admire

Know that there is strength deep within you

A strength that has helped you make it through

Know you can face every obstacle that comes your way

That you can make it through any day

Remind yourself of who and what you are

And tell yourself you can reach your shining star

No obstacle is too hard for you to overcome

You are smart, know how to fight, and aren’t a bum

You can be the one they all admire

Believe in yourself and obtain your every desire

Know the strength within you sets you free

It allows you to be all you can be

You can get your shining star

As long as you remember who you re

You can overcome any obstacle that comes your way

You can face the difficulties thrown at you each day

Because there is strength deep within you

A strength that has helped you make it through.
