True identity

The weather is cool

The door is open

The sage has been burned

My life is changing

Every step I take

Brings me into something new

Color on my nails

Color on my toes

It creates this unique individualism in me

Something that was not seen as favorable

But the eyes of the judges

Are not relevant in my life

I am meant to be different

I am meant to stand out

I stand in my uniqueness

There is no one like me

I will not be compared to anyone

I am the only me

I rise and shine with every breath

I stand firm in who I am

And who I am becoming

My voice had been silenced

But it rings free now

I will become my true identity

I look and press forward to be

all that I can be

It is quite the ride but worth it

Understanding and then moving on

Moving into what was always there

Leaving behind what they thought

My identity is evolving

Like yours, mine is unique

I will shine right into who I was meant to be

Or is it who I have been all along?

I will not look back and regret

I will learn and move forward

Stepping into what just naturally

feels right

Love and energy and time and effort

All things that are part of me

All things that shine through me

I will be my own true identity.
