MY TRUE SELF

MY TRUE SELF

Planting the seeds of my past in the ground
I buried them deep in the earth
The outer shell of pride had died
Revealing a kind of new birth

The shell of my protective self
It ruptured and broke away
Revealing the inner kernel of truth
Of who I am today

The outer shell of my false self
She took her final breath
As I; My true self, began to breathe
I felt like I cheated death

May the beauty of my true inner self
Blossom, take root in the soil of love
May I see the happier side of life
And behold the beauty of

I planted the seeds of who I am
Of who I choose to be
A strong, compassionate woman
Who knows who she is; The True Me

Thank you Tony. I have been working through a lot and I only hope others can somehow benefit from my struggle. If I thought my pain could help and bear someone's suffering; Wow! What more could I ask for?
I thank you Β and Cherie for your kindness, your comments and loving support! Thank you! :-)
