Springing out
of my wretched existence
was all I needed
to live.
The negativity sprung out
before I did
then, repressed thoughts
and imposed ideals
The mirror image
mocked authenticity,
as the borrowed garbs
lay bare.
Was it too late
To discover my Self?

“…To discover my Self?”
is never to late 🙂 A wonderfully constructed argument..

It is never too late although life may be less fully lived if we leave it too long.

I hope it is never to late to discover one’s Self and it probably takes a kind of springing out.

An interesting and unexpected take on the prompt word, Reena. It is hard to spring out but once you do, it’s all worthwhile.
