This is me, finally loving me

Every word on paper, sets free a thought, no longer holding me back

Introspective and detached, shedding what’s no longer needed

Like a leaf falling from a tree

Cleansing my soul, one thought at a time

Unraveling the painful knots of hurt and shame from my earliest times

Living in the moment, firmly grounded on this earth

I honor myself, with every thought and every rhyme

This is the me I was born to be

Unapologetic and authentic, living and loving with purpose and joy

No more hiding, no more pretending

I love myself, with each beginning and every ending.
