“To get connected with my own authentic self
To tune into the memories upon my memory shelf

This changeful self-reflection was a choice
Though painful it has helped me find my true authentic voice

I came to realize, through real eyes, the
real lies of my past And though the see
was vast, I worked them out at longest
last,

All my life
I presented
And what I
represented I
resented”

When you can't bear

When you can't hold on, release it...into the abyss”
