A Journey To Self Poem by Rhodesse Fanche

Get behind me, jealousy, release your hold,
For I yearn to be me, authentic and bold,
I shun the path of conformity's sway,
Competitive thoughts, I cast away.

I refuse to mimic the ways of the crowd,
In the depths of my being, my voice cries aloud,
For I am me, a creation divine,
Fashioned uniquely, by God's design.

In the image of the divine, I am formed,
A tapestry of colors, intricately adorned,
No need to envy, let it fall away,
I choose happiness as others find their way.

I celebrate their success, with joy I'm filled,
For in their triumphs, my own dreams are distilled,
Together we soar, bound by friendship's embrace,
Rejoicing paves the path to triumph's grace.

Within me lies the power, the strength untold,
To be the essence of me, confident and bold,
For I possess all that's needed, deep within,
Unleashing my spirit, I'm ready to begin.

Yes, I am capable, beyond measure, it's true,
To be the embodiment of my dreams anew,
With courage as my guide, I'll journey far,
Embracing my essence, the shining star.

So let jealousy fade, let envy be gone,
Embrace the beauty in being your own,
For in the realm of authenticity's reign,
I'll flourish as me, and never be the same.

Yes! I can, I declare with resounding voice,
As I embark on this path, making my choice,
To embrace the unique, the wondrous within,
Unveiling my true self, where life shall begin.
