Authenticity

Society emphasizes fitting right on in

Hiding who you really are

Even though there’s great beauty held within

Being who we truly are shouldn’t be bizarre

No one came here merely to blend in

We came here for so much more

Shining our true, radiant light is not a sin

Tapping into our inner essence—there’s so much to explore

Take off your mask; there’s no need to hide any longer

It’s time to speak your truth

Now the time to discover and wonder

Much like we did at one time in our youth

Yes, speak your truth, even if you begin to shake

You have great insight deep inside, awaiting to be shared

You never know how much difference your voice will make

If you hold yourself back, scared

You came here for a reason; this I know is true

It’s time to take a chance to find that purpose now

We’re all single, vibrant threads in life’s masterpiece of hues

Take that first step—it’s time for you to allow

Be yourself; you chose this incarnation

There’s no need to be anyone else, of course

They don’t have your unique information

After all, everyone is divine embodiment of Source
