Who Are You

Do you look into others to find yourself?
Are you defined by other people's perceptions of you?
Do you know who you really are?
Why the questions of self-doubt?

Why the fear of knowing oneself to be different?
Do you fear other people's judgment, for they do not know you?
Can you conform to your version of self and your reality?
Yes, you are a unique being that defines you as a loving person.

You bring a unique vibrancy to any relationship.
Is your vibrant life positive to those who you meet?
Does your smile bring forth the gift of love to a stranger?
You are born into the dark only to evolve into a life of light.
As your journey forward, you will be indeed a gift to life.
Take heart, my love, for you are the gift.
