The Day I Became Free

In my spare time, I enjoy writing poetry. This is a poem that describes the wonderful feeling of not living for the approval of others and freedom from your own self doubt. My intent is to inspire you if you’re reading this to be who you are no matter what and/or if you know someone who could benefit from this, please share. Peace and blessings, B

The day I became free
Free from my own judgement
Free from longing to be understood
Oh, free from wanting people to “get me”

No more will I dim my light to make anyone feel comfortable
No more will I change who I am to make anyone happy
No more will I settle for the mediocrity of anything that isn’t great

The day I became free
A beautiful day indeed
