Awakening Symphony: Embracing the Mirror Within



In the stillness of the night, a thought arose
Of searching inward, not through others' eyes
Past misgivings and mistakes now left behind
A new dawn emerged, a truth to realize
This life is mine alone to shape and mold
No validation needed but my own to hold

As morning light crept in, so did a knowing
That approval starts from within, then radiates out
No longer waiting for others to bestow
The love I should be giving without a doubt
To unfold my soul, to nourish and uplift
Requires embracing all of me as a gift

Outdated patterns remained, doubts arising still
But openings came, moments to shift my view  
Instead of seeking value defined elsewhere
I vowed to honor my own purpose true
Realigning to my essence, releasing old tales
Trusting in my heart, not shoulds, don'ts or elses

In stillness once more, clearer now to see    
That living to please leaves an empty hole      
Waiting on others' smiles to feel worthy        
Relinquishing my power, losing my soul           
This precious life deserves celebrating me
Fulfilling my dreams, being all I can be
   
As the sun broke through, a revelation            
That this world is like a mirror for my state  
People reflecting back all my self-judgments
Showing me where inner work must cultivate     
When I change my thoughts, watch how life transforms
Revealing the beauty my being performs  

With compassion for myself, changes emerged
No longer seeking to mimic or compare    
Owning all my quirks, my unique magic
Free to be me, wildly and without care!   
Understanding now that flaws are just a myth
In perfection's eyes, I'm exquisite like this

The day shone bright, in harmony within
At peace with all that arises, nothing wrong   
In quiet revelation, this truth sinks in:
I was always worthy all along    
Unconditional love pours out from my heart's stream
This is enlightenment - I'm awake and I'm free!
   
My eyes now open, clearer than ever before
At one with myself, you're invited too
To glimpse your own perfection nothing more
Accepting ourselves, our brilliance shining through  
United from within, we heal humanity  
One awakened being lifts all magically

And so awakened ones, though challenges appear
Remember who you are, you're unconditionally loved  
The only approval you need is right here
Your essence divine from the stars above
You're a gift to this world just by being you
Keep shining on, your inner light breaking through

Darkness descends, yet my spirit holds strong  
For when I love me, no darkness remains
United within, I glow bright all night long   
My flame never wavering, steadfast and sane  
I'm here to express my highest self each day
Come what may, I assure you I'm okay

Another dawn arises, fresh perspective gained   
All is well in my universe today
With compassion for all, my vision sustained
Everyone's playing their perfect part in this play
Be love, give love, set your spirit free
And watch as your life mirrors divinity

In oceans of grace, we're all swimming along    
Each of us worthy beyond compare
Our brilliance revealed when we live life as song  
Resonating heaven everywhere
Loving ourselves is the greatest act we can do
Setting the world free to honor their truths too

And so awakened ones, though challenges appear
Remember who you are, you're unconditionally loved   
The only approval you need is right here
Your essence divine from the stars above
You're a gift to this world just by being you
Keep shining on, your inner light breaking through

My soul now at peace with all I contain
The good and the bad, it's perfection either way    
In quiet revelation, this truth remains
I'm worthy always, night and day
Freedom at last, I accept me, all parts
With compassion and love filling my heart

Judgments now dissolved, higher truth realized
We're all in this together, seeking the light  
Perfectly imperfect, televised
Radiating beauty with all of our might
Loving ourselves and each other - this is the way
Kindness and care lighting up our day

And so awakened one, you've always been free
You just forgot and wandered for a time
But this is the moment you finally see
You are eternal, divine and sublime
Keep shining on as the miracle you are
Illuminating worlds both near and far
  
In oceans of grace, we're all swimming along
Each of us worthy beyond compare  
Our brilliance revealed when we live life as song
Resonating heaven everywhere
Loving ourselves is the greatest act we can do
Setting the world free to honor their truths too
  
Another dawn arises, fresh perspective gained
All is well in my universe today  
With compassion for all, my vision sustained
Everyone's playing their perfect part in this play
Be love, give love, set your spirit free
And watch as your life mirrors divinity

Darkness descends, yet my spirit glows strong  
For when I love me, no darkness remains
United within, I shine bright all night long
My flame never wavering, steadfast and sane
I'm here to express my highest self each day
Come what may, I know I'll be okay

My eyes now open, clearer than before
