I will not
be trapped within a web of lies
created by my own mind.
For far too long,
from myself, I've tried to hide
Far too late and long ago,
too many lines were crossed
because I did not know
how much affect my actions hold.
Now that I've begun to grow
I'm seeing things I always should have known.
I need to love myself, and my heart of gold.
In the mirror, I look me in the eyes,
as realization dawns on me I start to smile.
The best part about my mind
is that it's mine, and that is why,
I decide, to no longer be,
trapped within
my own web of lies.
Every struggle builds my strength
