Born poor
Peers apart
Mocked by many,
Self discovery
Set me apart
Pattering feet
Battling for crumbs
Idea rules the world

I’m not the body
suffering
not even the mind

When life is on the verge of surrendering to chaos;
Natural order will point you towards a new opportunity, Rewarding you with self discovery.
Jane who long the
road-to-self-discovery,
married and living
in Carter's wake--turned leaf o'er
Reagan's Mid-East, ALL MY BEST
But the truth is someday I will actually finally find
The entirety of who I have always been in my mind,
As my spirit finally becomes one with life's big wind.
Every outside element
Each one holds inside
Whether fiery hot
Or
Icy cold snow
We must learn to temperate
For in this self discovery
Our true character will show
Those dreams which are long pending
Dispersed over space and time
For a one single goal of
Creating the best of mine
Killing us day by day
Like a maggot creeping through the vein.
Summertime nature gracefully flourish
Animals arrange marriages; nourish,
Arranged at fun Disneyland
By preacher Giraffe Parkland
Merge, self-discovery over-flourish.

Ahead
Lies a journey,
One meant for unwavering determination
She is ready;
She is not afraid
For the path is already made
Ready to discover more of herself
Walking confidently in her purpose
With strength in each step
I am born
into nothingness
swaddled
in my mother's arms
the hospital room
my canvas
awaiting my destination
of self-discovery
each step in life
a brush stroke
of accomplishment
a feeling of fullness
I embrace the void
I know who I am-
In the quest for discovering my purpose
I stumbled upon constant changing tides
Realizing
I am not-
My mistakes
The things that brought me pain
I am-
My lessons learnt
The heart of a wildflower
I know who I am
I am light
I caught the disease before the deadline
before my mid-life crisis
the reinvention
Who can wait for the epiphany of self-discovery?
I’ll force myself to find my passion, and I’ll be great at it,
the best
and it will be entirely willpower
Maybe
Ask me tomorrow
Form:
Repetition is the father of learning,
an endless corridor of
narrow stairs;
anger blossoms self-discovery.
Tickling ivories and black keys,
tickles the soul into musical
paramount--
retrograded toward amnesia,
feels no more;
striking chords on a harp
in an angelic paradise.
The wonder of life
that each obstacle becomes a lesson
Wether overt or covert
by increased exertion of all powers at hand
something will speak a solution
A problem stopped
in a manner that appears to be perfect
and out of this illusion is created
a new diversion for self- discovery
Suzanne Delaney
I have found my happiness
In a calm and quite place
Deep in contemplation
Away from the rat race
Meaningful meditation
Upon my very foundation
Removing my frustration
Leading to my salvation
Now no place I’d rather be
Since I found my serenity
Now I ride upon its sea
Like the dolphin glad and free
concentrated
richness
of
sound
to
educate
the
ear
to
sustained
attention
of
strands
of counterpoint
self-discovery
by
a sense
of
experence
to
arouse
the body
& mind
in
a collective
engagement
Life! Oh life!
a walk beyond
the eyes of map
a pathless trap.
Life, Oh life!
boundless freedom—
to choose a path
a terrain, a weed ridden.
Life, oh life!
what a great way
to learn of different ways
road to self discovery.
The fact is
we all have to
make choices
good or bad, but simply a choice.
I set out on a journey
To explore the depths of me
To know who I am,
And what I'm supposed to do.
As I made my way through the valleys,
climbed the tallest summits,
I battled my personal demons,
I overcame my own fears as well.
I found strength in my courage
And courage in my heart.
I discovered a new me.
Life is much more than a pretentious ambition
A sense of entitlement or finding one’s position.
Life is discovering your individual, innate talent,
Unique self-qualities, on which you hold a patent
Your raison d’etre, answering “Why am I here?”
You will find it in the things you hold most dear.
Written June 9, 2022
Faded maps,
Empty promises,
A king's cruel decree.
Shadows lengthen,
On shattered temples, dust
Chanting, a false saviour.
Twisted truths,
A poisoned well,
Power's hungry grip.
Ancient stones whisper,
Secrets buried, buried deep,
We must find our light.
A single spark,
Igniting the heart,
Shattering the chains.
Trails
Not meant
To disrupt your peace
But to strengthen
Your mentality
To be calm and focus
Amidst chaos or obstacle.
Trails helps
Sharpens you
Self discovery
Self composure
Life understanding
Endowed you.
Know yourself
Know your worth
Know what you want
Do everything you can
Even when you face trails.
Tiptoes on timid,
balancing on fear
you peeked at perfection.
Chiseling abundance
into limited hopes
you can only pray for more.
Chances did not weep
only regrets paved a paranoia.
To shun years of disillusionment -
tribulations await rewards.
Boxed fears deliver
ambiguous results,
pain assured.
Yet the call echoes.
I love you deeply from my heart
No words can near come close,
To express all the best
With the man I chose.
Time apart has been rough though
Self-discovery,
Has transpired all that fired
Love for you in me.
How it’s grown from you I’ve known
Intensely in my core,
Though absence from yourself undone...
Thus crave you even more.
Soft Becoming
I used to think
growth had a sound
applause, fireworks,
a loud arrival.
But lately
it feels like breathing:
quiet, steady,
almost unnoticed.
A gentler voice,
a calmer heart,
boundaries forming
like invisible armor.
Maybe becoming
was never meant
to impress the world
only
to bring me home
to myself.
