Honest

The authentic you shines

Like lights in the night sky

Love in a mother’s eyes

And lights the world

thine genuine

Find that special  place

Deep inside where love resides

That’s calling you home

This is where you hear the truth

This is where you ‘re always safe

me stry

Where am I hiding

What it is I cannot see

Beneath the layers

Was told what to be

How to be and where to go

As I followed blind

Something inside knew

Part of me did not agree

With another’s truth

Slowly but surely

I walked discovery’s path

Of the real me

Each day I find more

Digging for buried treasure

To own my soul’s gold

I set myself free

To explore and celebrate

The mystery me
