Simplest Aspiration

In the midst of all pursuit, I wanted to see if those very eyes could see past outer beauty for what they are inside.

I was wrong.

And then I knew we failed the test. That we both contributed to the failure.

That if I could make all that difference, I would.

That if I could be a better person, I would.

But before all that, I'd have to first be myself. To know who I really am.

And then... to trust myself. To love myself. To have faith in myself.

And then I can set out to charge again.
