it's me

Longing
Aching
To go to the depths
To the depths of me
of all that I am

To know
to be content
to present myself
wholeheartedly
to others
to be assured

this is me
this is who I am
don't like it?
too bad; so sad
it's me

smiling
with no apologies
peaceful
it is me

Going down
getting closer every day
to the true me

no tradition
no rules
no expectations
no pleasing

just me

not for you
but for me

unafraid
embracing

all i am
and all i can be

loving
accepting
knowing

it's me

to the depths i will continue to dive
alone or with help
it's a journey
a mission

that will be accomplished
i must

i must know what is there
what i will find

i must continue to seek

for it's me

and it's all i got
