Poem: Rediscovering You

“Rediscovering You”

You are not the name they gave,
Nor the mask you wore to behave.
Not the titles etched in stone,
Nor the seeds you’ve never sown.

Beneath the noise, beyond the skin,
There lies a voice, soft and thin—
Calling through the silent scar:
“Remember who you truly are.”

Not the roles that twist and bend,
Not beginnings, not the end.
Not the race, the test, the grade,
Nor the debts you think you’ve made.

You are fire, before it flamed,
A wild thought, before it’s named.
You are ocean, sky, and star—
Limitless as dreams that are.

Strip it back—layer by layer,
Doubt by doubt, and prayer by prayer.
Find the stillness in the storm,
The soul that never lost its form.

No need to chase, to prove, to flee,
You’re already all you’re meant to be.
Just listen close, both near and far:
You’ve never left who you truly are

Thank-you for reading.

Remember there are many paths back to God.

Follow your own path,
