Echoes of Me

I've been chasing shadows, trying to find my way Through the noise of others, I've lost my voice, my say But in the silence, I hear a whisper clear A reminder that in the end, I'm the only one here In the end, you only have yourself A reflection of your soul, a story to be told You can't rely on others, to make you whole In the end, you only have yourself, to make you bold I've been searching for answers, in the eyes of strangers But their words, they just don't linger For in the end, it's not what they say But the voice within, that shows me the way In the end, you only have yourself I'll learn to love myself, through the darkness and the light I'll find my inner strength, and make it my guiding sight For in the end, it's not what I own But the love I have for myself, that makes me feel at home In the end, you only have yourself Echoes of me, whispers in my ear Reminding me to love, to let go, to persevere In the end, I'll find my way With the love and acceptance, of myself, each and every day. ✍🏻❤️‍🩹
