In shadows deep, where doubts reside
A voice within, so long denied
Whispers faint, yet growing strong
A call to self, where you belong
For years, you’ve danced to others’ tunes
Chasing stars, beneath their moons
But now, a spark ignites your soul
A yearning deep, to be made whole
No longer bound by chains unseen
You seek the path where you’ve not been
To say yes to self, a bold embrace
To find your truth, your sacred space
The mirror shows a face you know
Yet hidden depths, it won’t bestow
A heart that beats with dreams untold
A spirit fierce, a will so bold
No longer swayed by others’ needs
You plant your own, unique seeds
In fertile ground, your dreams take root
A life that’s yours, a truth so absolute
The world may whisper, doubt your quest
But you know now, you deserve the best
To honor self is not a sin
It’s where your true life will begin
With every step, you feel the light
A path that’s clear, a future bright
No longer lost in others’ schemes
You chase your own, authentic dreams
The chains that once held you tight
Now fall away, in morning light
A dawn of hope, a day so new
A chance to live, to just be you
In every breath, a promise made
To honor self, to never fade
A life of color, vibrant, bright
A soul that soars, a heart in flight
No longer will you play the part
Of someone else’s scripted art
You write your story, line by line
A masterpiece, uniquely thine
So say yes to self, with all your might
Embrace the day, embrace the night
For in this journey, you will find
A life that’s yours, a peace of mind
The echoes of your heart’s true song
Will guide you as you move along
In every choice, in every breath
You’ll find the life that’s yours to bless
