Myself, Me and I

Once upon a time, without complete thought My life was simple, nothing was too fraught But as I grew, new challenges emerged My path wasn’t clear, fate was lost I searched inside, I wanted to know Who I was, what made me glow I tried on hats, testing out roles But nothing fit, none met my goals So I turned inward, to my core To find the spark that I adore It took some time, but I uncovered My passion, my purpose, my own wonder Now I walk my path with pride No longer searching, I no longer hide Myself from the world, for it to see This is me, unapologetically I am confident, I am strong I know where I belong Not boxed in by society’s mold I am my own story to be told My spirit is wild, my heart is true I am a rainbow, a kaleidoscope hue I love fiercely, I forgive with grace I am unique, no one can take my place My dreams are big, my goals are high I am willing to try and try Failing forward, learning new things With an open heart, my soul sings I am grateful for this life I lead For the ones I love, for the things I need For the beauty that surrounds me each day For the highs and lows, come what may I will continue to grow and evolve To explore the world and problem solve To be kind and empathetic with each chance A humble servant, making love my stance So this is me, myself, and I A work in progress, reaching for the sky A logical poem with rhyme so sweet This is me, simply and complete.
