TO BE -Poetry

I found myself,

As I took a chance,

A chance to rewrite my circumstance.

I freed myself

When I released the chains,

The chains that caused all sorts of pains.

I found the truth,

As I searched down deep,

Deeply at the values to keep.

I honored myself,

As I stood my ground,

That is where my hope was found.

I stand alone,

As I am free,

Free to let myself just be.
