I AM HERE
If you would look into my Soul
The Hollow Me you see outside
Is not there
There only is the Truth of Self
That is the Reality of Me
This Mask I've worn so long
Becomes Me more than not
Difficult to Remember
The Soul me deep inside
A purpose chosen Forgotten
Beneath the dark veil of pain
Years of being denied
Weighed down by guilt and shame
Becoming that which is needed
To survive
Yet knowing it is not me
Not the Me that is inside
When is permission sort or given
To live a life fulfilled
When child and adult both alike
Do not know it is a Right
Yet some deep yearning Knowing
Declares it to be so
As bud emerging to be flower
Or caterpillar to butterfly
Some primordial ancient wisdom
Stirs in heart and Soul
To bring forth transitioning
From victim to victor
A Knowing so undeniable
To even fragile hope
Shining forth from a renewing
Deep within this tempest soul
Calls forth to the Creator
I am here I am here
Help me be Me
