When we look

When we look
Look
Deep inside
Deep
Deep
Inside
Our soul
We discover
There is so much
So much
Waiting for us
Waiting for us
To unlock
To discover
To see
To feel
To know
About
Who we are
What we are
Why we are
Where we are
When we take the time
To look
To really look
And examine
Ourselves
We understand
We always
Always
Hold the key
The key
To unlock
Our identity
That identity
So unique to who we are
And who we are not
That allows us to stop
To really stop
Following the flock
And instead
Gives us the strength
The permission
Even when we are lost
And afraid
To step out
Out from the darkness
Out into the light
Allowing us to be
Where our hearts are free
Our souls open
Our eyes wide
Exactly where
We are meant to be
Always meant to be
Always have been
Not in the darkness
Hiding from ourselves
Afraid to fail
Afraid to be
Who we are
Forgetting that failure
Is not to stop us
But to help us
To grow
Into the person
We asked
To come here to be
When we take the time
To stop
To look
To really look
In our own eyes
We see lurking
Deep
Deep down
Our essence self
Beckoning us
Asking us
To stop
To see
Who we are
Really are
To be
Who we are
Really are
Beneath the protective layers
Beneath the persona
To our core
Showing us
There are infinite possibilities
Waiting
Waiting
Just for us
When we stop
Truly stop
And look
Deep
Deep within
Where all the answers lie
Where the truth resides
Waiting for us
And only us
To find who we are
Why we are
What we are
Where we are
When we look
Look
Deep
Deep Within
