Rising in my own Light.

Rising in My Own Light

I used to hide in shadows cast,

Afraid to step beyond my past,

A mirror filled with doubt and fear,

Reflection blurred, never clear.

I measured worth by others’ eyes,

Chased their praise, believed their lies,

Built myself on shaky ground,

Losing pieces, never found.

But slowly, like the morning sun,

I learned my worth, one by one.

The quiet strength within my soul,

A spark that made me feel whole.

Now I stand tall, no need to prove,

In my own rhythm, my own groove.

I am enough, just as I am,

A flame that burns, strong and grand.

No longer seeking to compare,

I rise in love, beyond despair.

My self-esteem, a gentle guide—

I walk with grace, with strength, with pride.With every step, I find my way,

Leaving behind the need to sway

To voices that once ruled my mind,

Their grip now loosed, left behind.

I see the beauty I contain,

In every flaw, in every pain.

A journey forged by trials faced,

Each scar a story I’ve embraced.

I build my peace on solid ground,

In quiet moments, strength is found.

No longer bound by others’ views,

I choose the path that feels most true.

Now, when I look within, I see

A life that’s whole, a heart set free.

No perfect mold, no cage, no shame—

Just me, in all my light and flame.And in this light, I’ve come to know

The power in my own steady glow.

Not made to dim, nor shrink in fear—

I am meant to stand right here.

I own my dreams, both big and small,

The quiet hopes, the mighty call.

No need to prove, no need to hide,

My worth is woven deep inside.

I walk with courage in my stride,

Embracing all I’ve held inside.

With roots that dig and wings that soar,

I am enough, forevermore.

So here I stand, in love and grace,

Each step I take, my own embrace.

No voice can shake what I believe—

For I am strong, and I am free.Free to be all I’ve become,

To lift my face and feel the sun.

To cherish all I’ve lived and learned,

In every scar, the strength I’ve earned.

No need for masks, no need for show,

I honor every ebb and flow.

The highs, the lows, the in-between,

All threads within my self-esteem.

I’ve learned to dance to my own song,

In tune with where my heart belongs.

Unapologetically me,

Embracing all I’m meant to be.

So let the world see who I am—

A light, a fire, a gentle hand.

A soul at peace, no longer small,

I am enough, and I stand tall.Tall as mountains, vast as skies,

A spark, a flame that never dies.

With roots that ground, and wings that soar,

I am whole, and I need nothing more.

I’ve broken free from doubt’s embrace,

Found strength within my own safe place.

No longer bound by past regrets,

I live each day with no pretense.

I walk with purpose, steady, true,

In every step, a path anew.

Embracing change, releasing fear,

For I am home, I am right here.

I am my own, both fierce and kind,

A heart unchained, a peaceful mind.

In every flaw, in every gleam—

I am complete, my self-esteem.
