In shadows cast by days gone by
A soul once bright now seeks the sky
Lost in echoes of what used to be
Yearning for a glimpse of the true "me"
The heart, a compass, points the way
Through tangled paths where memories sway
Yet in the quiet, whispers call
To rise anew, to stand tall
In the mirror, a stranger's face
Yet deep within, a familiar grace
The journey back to self begins
With every step, the spirit wins
Let go of chains that bind the past
Embrace the change, the die is cast
For in the shedding of old skin
A vibrant life can now begin
The world awaits with open arms
With lessons learned and newfound charms
In every tear and every smile
Discovering self is worth the trial
The heart beats strong, a steady drum
Guiding the soul to where it's from
In the dance of life, find your place
With courage, love, and endless grace
Take the leap, embrace the fall
For in the depths, you'll find it all
The path to self is never straight
But oh, the joy that does await
In every dawn, a chance to see
The wondrous truth of being free
To find yourself, to truly be
Is the greatest gift, the key to "me"
