looking in the mirror
tearing away the fear
all the walls
all the things screening
looking at the heart and soul
finding strength
seeing beauty
hard working
caring and freeing
trips away
finding the truth beneath
holding on
looking up
seeing forward
backwards clear
all that hope
pulling near
finding strength
wishing truth
finding solace
in my youth
looking back
no longer longing
grateful for strength
no longer wallowing
who I am shinning through
no reason to hide the truth
beauty and confidence clear again
desiring to help my friends
hopeful heartbeats
dreading pain
but no longer drowning in the agony
Found my own strength
Care about me.
Finding more within the truth
than any reality
no longer needing
those around me
strength within
stronger than anything outside of me
so this is what I get
for spending 3 weeks stripping myself bare
I found me underneath that mess
what life and expectations tried to define as me
I found instead the true strength from me
from the teacher
the friend
from the adult
the child
the caring and loving individual
that I have always been
Who I will always be
I just need to keep growing
So that I can find the best me
no longer needing
those around me
strength within
stronger than anything outside of me
so this is what I get
for spending 3 weeks stripping myself bare
I found me underneath that mess
what life and expectations tried to define as me
I found instead the true strength from me
from the teacher
the friend
from the adult
the child
the caring and loving individual
that I have always been
Who I will always be
I just need to keep growing
So that I can find the best me

| finding strength within yourself is like finding spring. New Growth New hope and the end to a dreary time where you once relied on the winter of others. |
