Embrace the True You

In shadows deep, where doubts reside

A hidden self, you try to hide

Yet within you, a light does gleam

A truer self, a brighter dream

 

Why wear the masks that others give

When your own truth is yours to live?

The world awaits your unique song

A melody where you belong

 

Anxiety may whisper, "blend in and be the same,"

But change and authenticity are not things to blame

For in the shift, new paths appear

And courage grows to face your fear

 

Let go of chains that bind your soul

Release the weight, become whole

For every flaw and every scar

Are constellations, guiding stars

 

In the mirror, see the grace

Of every line upon your face

Each tells a story, bold and true

A testament to all you do

 

The journey's not to be like them

But to embrace your own emblem

To dance in rain, to laugh in sun

To be at peace when day is done

 

So, shed the layers, one by one

Reveal the self that’s just begun

For in the truth, your spirit flies

And in your heart, the real you lies

 

The world will see, and so will you

The beauty in the honest view

Stand tall, and let it be

The whole you, wild and free
