The Truth

I have passed the stage of questioning myself
As I have acknowledged my being
I have passed the stage of begging for anyone approval
As anyone can be misleading
I have passed the stage of eagerness for knowledge
As knowledge is power and I am proving them wrong

I am in a same story
Is because a story has different characters
I am letting my hair down
Is because it is easily manageable
I am expecting the unexpected
Is because history repeats itself

I am done being hard on myself
Is because I know what I want
I am done setting goals
Is because I know they are meant to be achieved
I am done reminiscing about what is coming
Is because I am what is coming
