I Feel Inspired By…

An anaphora poem. An anthem for life.

I feel inspired by mother nature and its greatness. Its diversity. Its wonderful colors and shapes. And its infinite beauty.

I feel inspired by the wonderful people who fight for love, peace, and justice.

I feel inspired by those who are brave enough to stand up to hatred, bigotry, ignorance, discrimination and inequity with endurance and resilience.

I feel inspired by those who open up their hearts and veins to tell their stories about their struggles with honesty, candor, integrity, and vulnerability.

I feel inspired by people who are curious, who take on new adventures, who step out of their comfort zone to find their call or to help others in need.

I feel inspired by my friend’s achievements, the unique moments that we have had together, the struggles we’ve been through, and the years ahead of us.

I feel inspired by writing, its prose. Its powerful take on life through words and sentences. Only through words, I can let my imagination shine.

I feel inspired by strong women, their bravery, their strength and their ability to fearlessly beat the patriarchy with fierceness, leadership and tenacity.

I feel inspired by my readers, their loyalty, their time, and appreciation for my work. Their support makes me humble and keeps me grounded.

I feel inspired by my limitations, my inner critic, my misfortunes and by all the things I’m candidly ignorant about but I’m eager to learn and explore.

I feel inspired by children and their ability to create and enjoy life freely without fear, resentment and prejudice.

I feel inspired by creative people who never take no for an answer, who stoutheartedly put their ideas, thoughts, souls, and sacrifice into their craft on a daily basis, for the world to see and judge.
