Hiding In The Shadows

In life sometimes we lose our place, and
in our hearts we are left with just an
empty space.

We only concentrate on the loneliness
and pain, and a glimpse of our reflection
reveals a person ordinary and plain.

We forget about all the people's lives we
have touched, and instead think that our
own life doesn't amount to much.

But it's amazing what the mind hides when
the soul is lost, and how many excuses to
avoid achievement that we can exhaust.

For a person such as you harbors so much
potential, but in order for it to flourish self
confidence is essential.

You possess charisma and compassion that
is shared so freely, and a radiant beauty
that only you can not see.

And when the time comes and you finally
appreciate who you are, this will be the day
the world inherits it's most brilliant star.

So my friend never lose yourself in another's
shadow, Let your own talents and abilities
allow you to grow, and that empty space in your heart will overflow.
