It has been a constant struggle
to let my inner light shine,
to keep believing in myself
and in this heart of mine.

  I have doubted myself
and wondered if I'm strong,
second guessing my own thoughts
often wondering if I am wrong.

I know that deep inside me
there shines an inner light
and I can feel a subtle warmth
taking control and burning bright.

I can not suppress these feelings
nor run from what is meant to be,
I must let life takes it course
and I must be true to me.
