I’ve spent my life hiding
a part of myself
the most beautiful part
from the world
Be it self doubt
or insecurities
that pull me down
like an anchor
in rough oceans
of anxieties
But the waters
have calmed
I can see now
what I could not before
We are all beautiful
especially
when we stop hiding
who we truly are
I feel as if I found myself
while drowning out at sea
the waves crashing in on me
I pulled myself
up from the depths
by lifting myself up
shredding the weight
of my insecurities
all of my faults
sinking beneath me
embracing all of my qualities
fair and flaw
I will sail on the sea
proudly in the winds
enjoying the salty breeze
filling my lungs
Life
I am finally
enjoying life
