“INSPIRED”

It took a lot

To get me here

I was so frightened

I lived in fear.

A little muse

He came to me

With a few choice words

I was set free.

Free to be here

Free to pursue

Free to be vibrant

And be myself with you.

As I struggled to find

My inner being

Real humble beauty emerged

The truth of me I’m finally seeing.

I feel the love

I feel the heat

Clap your hands

Stomp your feet.

We love our art

We’re not shy, not coy

We come together

To share the joy.

I heard the words

I felt the need

Tonight we were blessed

God’s children destined for success.

A prayer answered

Not a word went unheard

To all the other haters

I’ll flip just you the bird.

Tonight I heard things that inspired

I truly believe that I felt his touch

Compelled to write this

I thank God so much.

For all that he gives to me

I give it right back

My praise forms in words

They keep me focused and on track.

So when you see me put pen to paper

I hope you don’t mind

I’m following my destiny

I’m not being rude or unkind.

Positive thinking to aiming higher

Being what God meant to me

I’m ignoring the negative

Preferring to nurture the positive, in my creativity.

I’m being inspired

I’m catching a ride

I’m just feeling the flow

I’m flowing with the vibe.

I’m listening, I’m learning

God’s seeing my soul

But it’s only together

That I reach my goal.

No more back biting

No more stinging remarks

We’ve got to support each other

It’s together that we’ll create sparks.

Thoughts turn to action

Like flint and wood

Creating a literary fire

I’m doing what I only dreamt I could.

Just when I feel like I’m losing the rhyme

I look around, reminisce, remember

I slow it down

I take my time.

Quick, give me a sheet

A quill and some ink

Old school I know but what I come up with

Might make you think.

I stop, I think

I write it down again

My goodness why didn’t I think of that

Why when it was so plain.

I take what I feel and see

I show you through my eyes

It might take one

But more like two or three tries.

I won’t be in the crowd

Looking sad, feeling terse

I’ll be the one up on the stage you see

Giving you a taste of my verse.

Though I can’t sing in tune

Or freestyle a rhyme

I hope my words however delivered

Touch you every time.

Leaving you feeling hopeful

Bringing a smile to your face

Making you feel all warm and cosy

Welcoming you into Angee’s space

Now you go out and spread the word

Help someone else aspire

I thank you for reading this

Now that I’ve shared with you, I hope you’ll be… INSPIRED.
