July 03rd, 2023

In the land where liberty finds its home,
Where dreams take flight and hopes are sown,
A day arrives, adorned in red, white, and blue,
To celebrate freedom, both old and new.
On this Fourth of July, let us remember,
The struggle for freedom, burning ember,
Through battles waged, courage held high,
Our ancestors fought, for the rights we rely.
In the echoes of fireworks, bursting in the sky,
We honor their sacrifice, their spirit will not die,
For freedom's allure, a flame burns bright,
Igniting our hearts, like stars at night.
Let freedom's melody, like a song resound,
Through every corner, in every town,
From sea to shining sea, let it be heard,
The anthem of liberty, transcending word.
In the sparkle of fireworks, a dancing display,
We find unity and strength, on this glorious day,
For freedom's true essence is found, you see,
In the bonds that connect, both you and me.
A symphony of voices, rise and sing,
Of the freedoms we cherish, the hope they bring,
For on this Fourth of July, with hearts aflame,
We celebrate liberty, in honor of its name.

So as we gather, beneath the starry night,
Let us remember the past, and the future ignite,
For freedom's flame, forever it will burn,
A beacon of hope, for which we yearn.
On this Fourth of July, let us stand as one,
United in love, in freedom's blazing sun,
Embracing the essence, we hold so dear,
The spirit of freedom, year after year.

I FEEL LIKE A FAILURE, I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH

In shadows of doubt, where light grows dim,
Lies a soul burdened by feeling grim.
Whispers of failure haunt its weary heart,
As it wrestles with worth, tearing it apart.
Not good enough, the echoes resound,
Dragging the spirit to a desolate ground.
Like withered petals adrift on the breeze,
It questions its purpose, searching for ease.
But listen, dear heart, amidst the ache,
For beauty hides within the souls that break.
For in the depths of darkness, seeds are sown,
To bloom with strength that only failure has known.
For true growth arises from humble seeds,
Nurtured by tears, and not just by deeds.
There's magic in failure, lessons to glean,
For it's in those cracks, true strength is seen.

Within you lies a universe untold,
A tapestry of dreams, yet to unfold.
Though shadows may gather, obscuring the light,
Remember, dear soul, you possess endless might.
Embrace imperfection, divine in disguise,
For it's in vulnerability, true strength lies.
Emerge from the cocoon, spread your wings wide,
And soar through the heavens, undeterred by pride.
Acknowledge your worth, like a breathtaking view,
For you, my friend, are extraordinary too.
In the symphony of life, we all must sing,
Know that you're enough, a glorious thing.
