Self-Actualization


I'm standing still and I hear something.

That noise is getting louder and louder.

Some may say it's nothing.

It's my heart.

I feel the beat.

That's why nobody hears it.

I have to start living for me 

Today I am here, next week I might not be. 

It's time to start being free.

I don't want to hurt anymore.

I'm on the pursuit of happiness.

Death is my inspiration.

Can't lie to myself. 

Time to live life for me. 

Time to make myself whole.

Find me on the other side of the mountain.

I'll be glowing.

You'll see me smiling.

I started living for me.

Found myself after I lost myself.

Now I know who I am.

I'm here to be me.

If tomorrow never comes, let it be known I was always me.

True to me.

Taking chances.

Not living with fear.

I found me
