Through my words
Through my pain
Through my fears
Through my strength
As I show up even when I don’t want too and it be the best thing I did.
As the doubt washes away and I let go and have fun and open up.
I realized I couldn’t live in my shadows anymore, for I saw myself for the first time.
And I don’t want to hide anymore, not when I’ve finally sparked the fire inside me that won’t die out because I’m being my authentic self.
To be this open, I know, is a risk, but there is no going back for me now, and I hope and pray I will make it.
I know I’m not the only one believing in me now, and with their support, I can make it to the finish line, but for now, I will accept the present so I have a future to look forward to.
