I need no fortress for my safety,
No ember’s glow to warm my bones,
No guiding beacon through the darkness,
I dance when thunder shakes the stones.
I seek no proof to trust my knowing,
No nods of praise to feel my worth,
No final answers to life’s mysteries,
From unknowns I extract new birth.
My words flow honest, unfiltered,
My actions stand without disguise,
The world’s approval means nothing,
I chart my course beneath these skies.
Fear is but a veil I’ve lifted,
Thoughts are whispers, not commands,
In others’ eyes I see reflections,
Of parts of me they understand.
Beauty breathes in fleeting moments,
Love permeates the space between,
I speak when truth demands a voice,
And hold my silence when it’s keen.
I need no shelter from life’s tempests,
No shield against emotion’s tide,
No artificial light to guide me,
In darkness too, I step with pride.
Validation is a passing fancy,
Answers change with passing days,
I thrive amidst life’s complications,
My joy requires no outside praise.
Imperfection is my comfort,
Life delivers joy and pain,
My light shines not from outside sources,
But from within—wild and untamed.
