little ball
of light
with wings
palm-size
I give to thee
keep it close
clasped in
your hands
take a peek
its glow
is grand
keep it close
in your pocket
or maybe in
a locket
use it like
an antibiotic
when you
feel scared
or weak
or sick
or impaired
know that
it is there
it will know
you need it
in that moment
close your eyes
and feel it
glowing
use its power
to empower you
and shield you
let it out
if you have to
you are super now
you have the power
to overpower
your opponent
which is only you
you are glowing within
from the little orb with wings
that is what self-confidence
and self-esteem brings
you can keep it
as long as you need
but I already see
you growing
your own wings

I so enjoyed all your glowing words, and I loved these lines. keep it close
in your pocket
or maybe in
a locket
use it like
an antibiotic

Thank you. And to think I was going to change that. When what you think is your weakest gets quoted, well… that’s a confidence booster.

I always find that myself, what we the writer thinks, and what the reader likes are two completely different things, and now I never worry about it, and I’ve come to enjoy all the different interpretations of my words.
