Self-Discovery

Sometimes life forces us to reevaluate who we are. The lessons did not come easy, but I am very happy with what I have discovered.

Self-Discovery

All my life I have been confused

Always looking for who I really was

I knew I was not what others told

I knew I was not what I felt

So, who was I?

I have worked hard to create a self

Knowledge and understanding became my creed

“Accept me. I am worth it”, was my silent plead.

The desire to be someone was an empty shell

So, who was I?

I felt ashamed of my need for attention and company

I felt disgusted with each and every one of my insecurities

I felt flustered and angry at my ridiculous lack of identity

I felt such hate at my own pitifulness

So, who am I?

My beautiful self, bloomed at her own sweet time

But now I see that I had always been right there

To believe that I had any inherent value I did not dare

To finally meet me, has been an experience sublime

So, let me tell you who I am!

I am the fertile earth that nurtures possibilities

I am the light and warmth of a summer sunrise

I am the flame of passion, hungry for the spark of life

I am flow of water that cuts though all strife

I am the reincarnated breath of the old and wise

I had to close my eyes to the world,

So that I could see the spirit within me.

I am one with the Earth.

I am one with the Universe.

I am one with the Divine.

I am life in action.

I am me.
