01

Personal Identity

Subtle Touch:

Influence in a gentle touch,
In the quiet, it means so much.
In the whisper, hearts do change,
Influence, in its range.
Subtle touch in morning's light,
Influence, pure and bright.
In the shadows, in the gleam,
Influence, life's own dream.

02

Personal Identity

Ripple’s Reach:

Influence like ripples wide,
In the ocean, in the tide.
Spreading far and spreading true,
Influence, in all we do.
In the water, in the air,
Influence, everywhere.
Ripple's reach in morning's glow,
Influence, life's own flow.

03

Personal Identity

Guiding Light:

Influence in the guiding light,
In the darkness, pure delight.
In the journey, in the way,
Influence, every day.
In the stars, in the skies,
Influence, where hearts rise.
Guiding light in morning's hue,
Influence, always true.

Personal Identity

Influence Intrigue

An influencer, so full of flair,
Their life online, beyond compare.
I tried to follow, match their style,
But tripped and fell, oh what a trial.
My photos crooked, captions weak,
My influencer dreams, quite bleak.
I posted stories, danced a jig,
But views were low, my likes a twig.
Now I just watch and laugh with glee,
At influencers, wild and free.
Their antics fun, their lives so bright,
My influencer dreams, out of sight.

05

Personal Identity

Social Star

I tried to be a social star,
With selfies, hashtags, near and far.
But every time I clicked to post,
My phone would freeze, a digital ghost.
I tried to go live, share my day,
But ended up with nothing to say.
My followers laughed, my friends all teased,
My influencer dreams, never pleased.
Now I just scroll and watch with cheer,
At social stars, with nothing to fear.
Their lives so bright, their posts so grand,
My influencer dreams, in the sand.

06

Personal Identity

Influence’s Touch

In moments where paths do cross,
Influence leaves its quiet gloss.
With words so soft and actions kind,
It graces hearts and minds.
Influence, a force unseen,
Shapes the world in ways serene.
In every act, a story's spun,
Of lives improved, of battles won.
Through whispers low and gestures grand,
Influence extends its hand.
A testament to human grace,
Influence finds its place.
