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
