There was a barrier between me and my goals

And I had crossed an inevitable bridge to self doubt 

It created an illusion that the weight of the world

had coercively been set on my shoulders

The pain and anguish of those around me,

slowly became my own

And when I looked in the mirror,

I saw an unrecognizable person in front of me

And as the sun rose and fell for what seemed like decades,

I began to see the me who wanted to come to light

The me who wanted to break the walls,

and eliminate what consumed me

Because inside, I was blooming

Inside, I was healing

Inside, I was glowing
