ARCHETYPE

Be the best you can be!

 

 

You can't break my spirit
It is not made of glass
I am made of the strongest steel

Shaped in the cauldron of my past

 

You believe you can hurt me
You would be wrong to make that guess
I am blessed beyond your measure
I am perfection at its best

 

You can call me a vintage
I am rare and hard to refine
I was made to be an exclusive
A one of a kind design

 

I am not so visually transparent
I am made of the densest wool
You are the vessel I can see through
A clear glass which is only half full

 

Know that when you look at me
Nothing about me is a mess
You are staring at the archetype
The one, the only, the best!

Author's Note

Be the best "you" that you can be. You are rare and you are unique. There is only one you. Relish in the fact that you are a singular archetype. You are one of a kind.

When people tell me I am weird, I just laugh and reply "I am Individualistically Unique" for I know there is no other like me in this world and that is a good thing.

This writing brought many images to mind as I was reading; that is what it should do.
Excellent.

[Eddie Phillips]

We are unique and special. As you said we are individualistically unique. There is no copy of us. We should relish the thought of that. Thanks for reading.

Yes, Eddie, you are absolutely right. God says "I can do ALL THings through Christ who strengthens us."
Great write my friend.

Courageous and defiant, the thick wall in front of those that seek to destroy others to lift up themselves!

Thanks for the share

You can't break my spirit
It is not made of glass

Thank you brother

[A. H. Pinley]

Need to love yourself before you can love others. Rather than hide your weaknesses, embrace them and find that person that turns them into a strength. Good write!

[Marc Marlon Villaflor]

Wow the confidence is overflowing. Love the words play here, stunning write to read. :)

We have to know we are unique. If we can just remember that simple thing everyday is worth fighting for.
