Introspection

Learning to embrace me.
From my receding hairline
to the scar I received
when I was three.
My adaptability
and changing
spirituality. 
For the things I keep
under lock and key
and the sentiments
I wish to say
but underscore them
in silent ways
The way I let moments slip 
into tomorrow
and how satisfied I am
with simplified. 
Yeah, I'm learning me,
A me I never knew
existed. 
Don't need to search, 
I was meant to surface, 
shine and blind
with a beacon type light
waiting for El Capitan
to find me.
First rule of thumb 
when your lost,
is to be still.
Now, I feel the way ahead
will include me,
instead of the opinions
of them, they and thou.
Embracing me
It's been quite a long while.
