Soul Journey
Do you truly reveal your essence?
Or do you project an illusion untrue?
A mirage of falsehood and pretense?
Do you know how to just be you?
Beneath the mask of deception..
Lies the truth yearning to be free.
Intrinsic beauty beyond the facade..
A diamond waiting for all to see.
Pleasing the eyes is to be shallow..
But over time beauty will fade.
Your soul journey will have no rewards..
But that's the game you played.
Each soul voyages through life..
Uniquely on their own quest.
We must tread with empathy and grace..
You've one chance, so give it your best.
