I am inspired by life, whatever you may conceive that to be.
The good, bad,ugly, and that murky “grey” area in between.
I wake up each morning, and think to myself “What will this day bring me?”
Will I experience happiness, laughter, sorrow, grief? Life comes with no guarantee.
At my job, I teach children to reach for their dreams. I encourage, and tell them “Don’t give up!”
I see their faces when they learn something new, and, it’s like nothing you could ever dream of.
People that I know and I talk to each day, teach me about love and sympathy.
Without them, I don’t think I would know what it is like to feel an ounce of empathy.
You see, I have been jaded by what I have seen, and felt, each day that I’ve been alive.
I can truthfully say that it’s all been worth it for a life that only I can symbolize.
If I had a choice on what inspired me, I don’t think I would change very much,you see.
My life path wasn’t really meant to inspire anyone else, but me.
