Cast the Light
Make a wish, set your goals
Do not ever relinquish control
The beauty of an individual lies in their soul
We merely seek to set the pieces whole.
I am a creature of habit and ambition
And though I struggle against daily temptation
I will not lower myself to the popular position
It is in my bones not to bow down into submission.
I will decide whether to trust my sight
I will endure this misery with all of my might
I have nothing to lose since I will win this fight
Since I have been entrusted to cast the light.

To freaking tight, we were having a similar conversation with a poetess on site today. Your rhyming was also on point Lady, great piece of positivity.

I Do value this empowered rendition; self reliance, stoicism: things found
in those with considerable spiritual heights and resolution,
Too much force to take the risk and jump into success.
Thanks for sharing
