you must dowhat you need
you must do
what you need to do
to be authentic.
the discovery of your true self includes
connecting the dots
it means digging deep into the archives of childhood,
searching for signs
hungry for answers
aching for proof
but
underneath those archives,
searching,
underneath thick, salty tears
underneath your binder,
hungry,
underneath discomfort immersed in relentless sorrow,
you are aching.
you learn that growth is a result of accepting your authentic self.
aren't you tired of the same, daily unhappiness?
