Shedding Masks: Finding My True Self

Once lost in the fog of confusion and doubt, I wandered aimlessly, with no clear route. My heart felt heavy, my spirit tired and worn, As I searched for a way to find myself reborn.

But then, amidst the chaos of my mind, A glimmer of hope, a light to find. A voice within, a whisper so true, That guided me towards the real and the new.

With each step forward, the path became clear, As I shed my fears and let go of my tears. I rediscovered the things that truly mattered, And discarded the beliefs that had left me shattered.

I embraced my passions, my quirks, my flaws, And found beauty in the imperfections of my cause. For I am unique, I am one-of-a-kind, And no one else can be me, in body or mind.

I learned to trust myself, to listen within, To follow the voice that sang with a grin. For it knew the way, it led me to my truth, And gave me the strength to break through my youth.

I shed the masks that I had worn for so long, And revealed my true self, bold and strong. With each step forward, I grew more aware, Of the wonder and beauty that was always there.

For I am not defined by the labels of society, Nor the expectations of others, who preach piety. I am defined by the essence of who I am, By the soul that shines within, like a beacon to Sam.

And so, I stand here, with open heart and mind, Embracing my true self, my spirit refined. For I know that in this world, there is only one me, And I will live my life, wild, fearless and free.
