Show Me What an Inspiration You Are!

I scroll through the people on my Facebook,

and I see profiles, empty, no updates.

I’m sure they carry struggles,

maybe even more than I do,

which means many stories to write.

But they cannot summon the courage

to share them.

I am sure, they have many skills, too,

waiting to be explored, showcased,

that makes me feel pity for them.

People, we are here to tell our unique stories,

we don’t have to serve a glossy life,

our wounds make mighty stories.

I write books, I paint.

But you don’t have to do that.

Show me..

how beautifully you crochet.

how fabulous your mango pickles are,

how your garden looks pretty,

how you left an abusive man,

how you care for your child’s asthma.

how you coped after your mother’s death.

Show me. Your hidden power.

I want to know,

how you are no less than a lighthouse

please show,

what an inspiration you are.

the world needs your inspiration.
