Enriched

What was difficult? A decision made to be me. A decision to leave, Everything and everyone... Who did not grasp, Their own identity. And when clarity came, And stared in my face... I stood and stared right back! That was the most difficult thing I did. And since then... I recognized, How many had not done that. How many, In fact... Did not know who or what they were. And I did not fully realize until I witnessed them... How long I had been back then, Like them... In hiding! Pretending I knew the life I lived. But today I do not seek, Acceptance from anyone to qualify that. I did not know that finding myself, Would leave me feeling so enriched!
