Confident Change

Confidence is found in the most unlikely of places
She finds it in the quiet whisperings of God
And in laughing with her friends and family
She finds it in moments of inspiration and creativity
Most especially in those moments where she wants
         to change the world
It is in those confident moments
That who she is pours out onto paper
In pictures, in phrases, poems, in art
When she sees her soul on paper, then, again
She smiles because deep, deep inside
She holds on to one unshakable truth
That she is beautiful, she is worth it
          she can change the world
Even though she's surrounded by a country
Whose people no longer seem to care
A country that seeks pleasure and not right
She lives where morals died, where dreams faded
And she wants to have courage to dream and do what's right
           she has the courage to change her world
She holds a smile for everyone and a laugh
Her heart could hold the world if she let it
Loving so deeply that loss breaks her open
And the state of the world unleashes a flood
            tears come when she can't change the world
