_________________________________________
Fiction, factuality, and fetching flavors.
Tangible, practical, natural perspective.
Can a warm impression be desirable?
To witness connect, and wonder.
It's heartfelt but delusional.
delight, devotion, a warm imposter.
A genuine affection, a hope for deceit
A supposed desire to succeed.
To wish for sight, feel affection.
It's a dissatisfaction connection.
My priority is your well-being.
Dwelling in a rigid atmosphere.
It felt as if I didn't belong
I tried to fit in for years
within a mismatched enclosure.
Still, I sought their embrace and praise.
I struggled with their maze repeatedly.
regardless of my desire.
I didn't catch the dwelling I desired.
It glazed on me as I traveled.
Being treated simply as you are.
I had not loved or cared for myself.
Don't you recognize me starving?
I heard myself in that crucial insight stage.
I knew I ought to rewrite my story.
must abandon society's rigid rules.
Allow my authentic integrity to shine.
Adapting was challenging.
Toward self-love and pleasure.
I felt peaceful and the sky seemed vast.
I realized my genuine self deep inside.
I freed myself from worthless people.
Those who elect mask above birth.
They never fit my soul.
I had paid dearly for faking.
If you suspect anything is wrong.
Self-imposed turmoil has plagued you.
Relax and ignore others advice.
Self-acceptance is never late.
Convey your true radiance,
At its best—it's popular globally.
