Authentic Selves

as we grow 
we change 
we start to 
feel comfortable 
within our own skin
we start to trust 
ourselves 
we slowly stop  
seconded guessing 
every single little thing
we do or don´t do 
we learn that there is 
no such thing as perfection 
so we eventually stop 
striving for it and in the end we
just start to live as our 
most authentic selves
