A short poem
I didn’t know I can see
I didn’t know I can see
I was someone I wasn’t. Did what I thought I had to.
I didn’t even like it much. I hide myself from me.
Pretended to live a life as I thought it should be.
I thought I knew it all.
No scratch on the surface – perfect to the world.
Eager to please eager to control.
I was blind and lost like a leaf in a storm.
I was searching for something I didn’t know what.
Pain and sadness and so much grief and despair.
I went looking for myself with great fear for the unknown.
Finally, I found myself and I was here all the time.
I will always stay with me.
I have forgiven everyone, and I have forgiven me.
There is no one to blame or shame anymore.
I don’t have to be anything or anyone.
It’s a relief and I can really breathe.
Free at last. I believe in me.
I found nothing and all.
I know I do not know.
I am at peace with the world.
I can see.
