Sparkle.
Glitter.
Shine.
Look at me!
Everybody Look at Me!

I'm special...i'm special...
(Aren't I?)

I have purpose and meaning
(Don't I?)

I am strong and capable.
(Am I?)


I can do and be anything I want to do or be.
(Can I?)
No...I am weak. unimportant. anonymous...

...i am nothing...
Says the black voice in my head.

I am Strong and Relevant, Known to the people who Love me. I have Life. I have Words. I have Love. I have the Potential for everything. I am Everything!
...says the light voice in my head.

Constant War, a shifting balance: Humanity.

I feel like everyone has a bit of this going on inside of them. Individually we choose which has more strength inside of our hearts with our choices and actions each day we live.

Thanks for your comment and compliment. :) I just wish everyone was able to see it this way; but I understand that some people have a harder time than others remembering and I feel for them.
