Unshaken Self

Be who you are in the shifting light,
In crowded rooms or the quiet night.
No borrowed voice, no hidden face —
Just stand in truth, take up your space!

When winds of doubt begin to rise,
And mirrors cloud with others’ eyes,
Hold the spark you have always known,
A steady fire that is yours alone!

For masks may fit, but never stay,
They slip and fade and fall away.
What lasts is you — unshaped, untamed,
Unboxed, unbroken and unnamed!

So, walk your path, both fierce and free,
No matter what the world may see —
For every step, both bold and small,
Is truest when you give it your all!
