when i drop the mask
dissolve the facade
allow my essence
to shine freely
life responds to me
openly
lovingly
honestly
it’s no longer important
what people think
if they approve of me
seek my company
or put distance between us
when i live
from my truth
as my real self
i move confidently
following my knowing
without needing
validation from others
trusting my inner reality
completely
a living embodiment
of the inner me
