The Beginning of the Beginning

This is the beginning

The beginning of stepping from dreams to reality
Of self awareness and sanity
Of baring my heart with honesty

The beginning of sanctity of the mind and soul
Of execution of wishes and hopes
Of facing fears and conquering doubts

The beginning of self actualization
Of personal reflection and satisfaction
Of accepting my flaws and imperfections

On this wall I will pour my soul
I will be naked without shame
I will be lost in my mind
And here I will be free

Pardon me when I sound afraid or weak
Pardon me when I speak ignorantly
Pardon me when I speak with confidence and it comes as pride
Please do not take it personal
It is simply me feeling the sand under my feet
Feeling the air and breathing like it’s my last
Hearing the whispers of life around me
It is me being alive

Please allow me to be afraid of what you might think of me because I am human
Allow my mind to wonder and ask myself questions I have no answers to
Allow my voice to be heard
Allow me to finally be human

THIS! Is the beginning of the beginning.
