To be given an ability to inspire the inspired
That is something I’ve always desired to achieve
To make someone believe even when motivation takes a leave of absence
Fighting a poetic passion
To poetry practicing abstinence
Who would have thought that a presence
Or lack there of could bring such love

It’s amazing how small words can be huge to another
They can be viewed as a refuge to a fellow sister or brother
Giving shelter when a deluge of rain drops attempt to smoother
Attempts to create a delusion that there is no other to count on
When all that was needed was to mount on top of belief
Saddle up and ride the inspirational ideas that creep in
Because sometimes all someone needs is someone to believe in

To be perceived in the eye of the beholder as an inspirational instrument
Words to the eye act as a head on the shoulder
The ear will hear melodies played from the collar bone
Words to encourage ideas to be called your own
In a day where all are shown reasons to discourage
Discredit
And discontinue life

I myself have been inspired by words like Tupac’s
Never knowing if I’d see the next 24 hours
Even if I was staring at two clocks
I can’t promise I’ll provoke a change in the world
But I can at least inspire the mind that does
Make a mind is from a mind that was
Because
A mind that is thinking
Came from a mind that was observing
A mind that is questioning
Came from a mind that was dissatisfied with the answer
And demands a discovery to cure the curiosity like infected by cancer

I’ve unknowingly inspired the inspired
To know I was cause for life to persist
To know I was cause for tears to desist
It’s overwhelming
To know my words consist of tools to assist
To help along one other than myself
This has brought wealth of the heart
As you may believe my part was to inspire you
I disagree
Because you’ve helped inspire me too

{Author's Note: I expressed a lot of appreciation in my last piece but left one person out for a reason. There have been a few that have shown such dedication to my art (they appreciate it for the art it is). There have been few people that started but disappeared off the face of GS. There have been few that picked up later and have lasted. There have been few that started and just... I guess lost interest. There are a couple that remain, but there was one that started it all off. One person has shown unending appreciation to my craft since I got here. She made it her mission to read everything I wrote when she arrived to my profile. And since then, she has continued to read everything written. You can't buy that kind of dedication. So this is dedicated to her, "Inspired". Funny I don't even know her name or face, but I do know her love for poetry and her fancy for mine. Her mind exceeds the age displayed. Her personality is art in itself. Thank you Inspired for your passion has further inspired a passion in me.}
