In the quiet moments, I seek to find,
The essence of self, the depths of my mind.
Layers unfold, revealing the truth,
A journey within, to recapture my youth.

Mirrors reflect, but do not define,
The intricate tapestry woven in time.
Shadows and light, together they dance,
Embracing the self in a delicate trance.

Through trials endured and lessons learned,
The spirit within, brightly it burned.
Each scar a story, each smile a song,
Understanding the self, where we belong.

In solitude’s grace, we come to see,
The beauty within, the strength to be free.
A voyage unending, a quest so grand,
To know the self, and finally understand.
