Truth In Knowledge

I recall times that are now far from mind. 
Times when I was told to mind my label;
left feeling I was of some other kind.
Searching revealed that I had no table.

Self reliance learned in lonely youth.
A gift from some far away unknown place; 
instilled in me a taste for sacred truth.
My hunger never filled ahead of grace.

Facing fear as if I were unafraid.
Intuition grew when fed new knowledge.
Two faced; concealer, mascara, a masque.
Knowing fear, I seen fawns in foliage.

Negated when I received my label;
an account of life when told rings fable.
