P O W E R(17)

                                                                             P O W E R

Remember that question that almost everyone asks you at some point, “What do you wish was your superpower?” In a way, don’t we already have powers? The ones that we might not always think of. Being fearless and strong, or being selfless and brave. Even if being brave is the last thing you expect. 

The thing with power is we don’t always realize we can use our own. That you are able to stand up for what you believe in, and have the power to take a stand. To fight for yourself and what is right is truly using your power. That you can control the outcome even if you don’t believe you can. 

Instead of ending, or making this a traditional post, I’m going to add an original poem for those of you who might forget that you hold your power. You. No one else. Enjoy.

Power

No matter what you think 

Or how long time is. 

You hold your power,

Strong-willed, 

Grit and tears to fizz. 

Power doesn’t have to be,

Something that you hide. 

Power can be a reason,

That makes you try. 

To fight alongside those who can’t. 

To stand up and believe that you truly can. 

Because that power has been within you, 

Maybe longer than you think. 

But it was hiding in plain sight, 

Closed off in one blink. 

So hold your power, and your head high. 

And don’t be afraid to dull your shine. 

As your power is now on the surface of those you face,

To show them that your strength can never be replaced.
