Have you ever looked at someone

And seen talent in their eyes

Making you want to rise

And be the best you can be?

 

Or have seen something amazing

That made your mind dance

And believe that you have a chance

And forget the phrase 'I can't'?

 

Or witnessed a spark 

That lit up the dark

And wanted to be as powerful as it

And climb out of the pit 

that was stopping you from breaking through?

 

Or caught a smile 

That made you think of a huge pile

Of ideas that stood as high as a mile?

 

Or heard a brilliant tune

That took you to the moon

And made your heart go boom?

 

Or read a book

That made you look

And caught your fall

And knocked the wall 

That kept you from your greatness?

 

This is inspiration.

This is a poem I wrote a few years ago, when I was around eleven years old.
