That Moment

That moment when it hits you like a ton of bricks.

That moment when every kind of emotion runs through you

Through your veins

Through each strand of your hair

Through every layer of your being

That moment when you tell yourself enough is enough

That I’m going to do this no matter what

Because you stayed up so many late nights taking care of everyone else. And you realize who is there to take care of you but yourself.

So that moment when you decided that you are enough

As you are

At that moment when you decided that I’m going to rise about

And not make anymore excuses

It’s at that moment rather than giving yourself every reasons to say why not

You have every reason to

Because it’s that moment when you finally woke up and see the amazing being that has been doing it all

pushing through it all

Being it all

So now, it’s this moment that it is time to rise above any mistakes from the past, all the lies in your mind, and any reason not to shine.
