You are the Inspiration.

This one’s stolen from my Instagram.

In your calm and composed reflection,
I find my inspiration.

In your silent struggle and occasional accession,
I also feel your perspiration.

You walk a tight rope between
too much and too little.

You try to separate your
friends from your foes.

You wonder sometimes,
if you are right and they are wrong.

You often question your own self,
as you go through your new highs and lows.

Yet in your calm and composed reflection,
others find their inspiration.

We exist on multiple continuums, each of a different ability or personality-attribute, and on each of these we hold a different position – on some, we are inspirations; on others, we seek inspiration.
