She Lit the Match

She thought
She would be healed
Like Magic.
The magician
Lighting her up
And leading the way.

Her imperfections
Would liquify
And melt away.
Her light
Forever glowing.

She would light up
Like a candle,
But this time
Bigger and brighter.
She would refuse
To let anyone
Blow her light out.

However,
She realized
She blew her own
Light out
With her own
Imperfections.

The magic
Was not a person
On the outside
Leading the way.
It is
Only her.

She is
The magician
She holds
The match.
And only she
Can blow out
Her inner light.

So, she
Lit the match.
Loving herself,
Choosing
Joy,
Love,
And Peace.

She was true
To herself.
She followed
Her calling
With courage
And creativity.

Her inner light
Glowed brighter
And brighter.
She was right.

Because she
Had the match,
No one
Could blow out
Her light.
