In the depths of my soul, I search.
Through the twists and turns of my mind,
I find myself on a journey,
To discover what I left behind.
Some may call it self-reflection,
A path to personal growth,
While others see an early crisis,
A quest for something both old and new.
Each step I take brings me closer,
To the person I’ve become,
As I peel back the layers,
And embrace all that I have done.
It’s in the shadows of my past,
And the light of my present truth,
That I find the courage to face,
All the fears of my youth.
So I walk this path with purpose,
As I strive to understand,
The mysteries of my being,
And the power in my own hands.
It’s through this act of reflection,
That I find the strength to grow,
And discover the beauty that lies,
In the depths of my soul.
Steve Halstead.
