Poem: Whole and Free

In the depths of despair, lost and alone,
I wander aimlessly, searching for a home,
Straying far from my path, I roam,
Realizing there’s nowhere to go but back to me.

Through trials and tribulations, I’ve strayed,
From the truth within, where my essence laid,
Lost in the chaos, the noise, the fray,
I find solace in the journey back to me today.

With each step I take, I reclaim,
The fragments of my soul, the essence of my name,
In the silence of my heart, I hear the call,
Guiding me back to myself, standing tall.

No longer afraid of the unknown,
I embrace the shadows, the light, the tone,
For in returning to myself, I find,
The strength, the courage, the peace of mind.

I face my fears, my doubts, my past,
With a newfound clarity that will last,
In the mirror of my soul, I see,
The reflection of who I’m meant to be.

So here I stand, whole and free,
In the sanctuary of self, where I’m meant to be,
Embracing the journey, the highs, the lows,
For there’s nowhere to go but back to me, where true peace flows.
