You are more than an echo

Don’t just be the waves,
You carry more than motion.
You were meant to be the ocean itself,
Vast, deep, and full of memory.

Don’t just be the echo, 
You are more than a reflection.
You could be the very sound,
Original, bold, and alive.

Don’t settle for being a single star, 
You hold more than light.
You could be the whole night sky,
Infinite, radiant, and free.

So don’t shrink yourself, dear
You are worth far more
Than you’ve ever been told.
More than you’ve dared to believe.
