Open // Close

kindness in her heart,
beauty in her eyes,
a passion burning in her soul.
she opens herself to the world,
letting her dreams flow out
along with her joy.

but the world wants to close her up
with bitterness from others,
with smirks on their faces,
with disgust in their eyes,
with doubt in their words.

but her fears don't consume her,
instead she brightens her light,
enlarges the fire in her soul,
feeds the joy in her heart
and goes for her passions,
lives out her dreams,
achieves her goals,
and spreads love in the world.

her kindness inspires them in their bitterness,
her smiles overpower their smirks,
her love covers their hate,
her joy is bigger than her fears.

and she is you
and she is me;
we can live in our passions and not our fears,
make our dreams reality,
and inspire others.

get ready to change the world.
