The True, Genuine & Indubitable Me.
Location
The True Me.
The Genuine Me.
The Indubitable Me.
The Me that no one saw.
Was hidden.
Why?
I wanted people to see my:
Strength,
Courage,
Will,
Intelligence,
And nothing more at first glance.
So the Me that was:
Shy,
Nervous,
Afraid,
And,
Insecure.
Would stay
Unexposed.
I did not want others to view Me as
Weak.
During times of melancholy,
I dissembled the pain from others by a
Smile.
Everyone saw a happy person…
They never saw the struggles.
No one saw the misery.
I told myself
“Things will get better.”
No matter what happened.
I knew.
The depression was the shadow,
Suppressing the Me
Who wanted to be
Happy.
It prevented my smile from being
Meaningful.
It was just a way to hide.
The shadow pushed Me down
And down,
To where I was almost conquered.
I stopped it by fighting back.
I stopped letting what oppressed Me
Do as it pleased.
I defeated the oppression.
Although I did not leave the battle
Without scars.
The scars helped Me become:
Stronger,
Braver,
and
Wiser.
Even so,
I still cower from letting people know
How I acquired these scars.
I am afraid to let them know
What I have felt.
What I have seen.
I am afraid they will feel
Pity.
That is what is preventing the
True
Genuine
And
Indubitable
Me
From freedom.
The True Me,
Wants no more
Suffering.
The Genuine Me
Wants kindness for
Everyone.
The Indubitable Me,
Wants to Smile with
Happiness.
