POISED

In a world of masks and shallow disguise,

Where authenticity is a treasure so wise,

Let your unvarnished essence shine clear,

Embracing truth without a fear.

The world craves the real, the raw, the sincere,

Amidst the sea of imitation, they appear rare,

Each day a chance to let your light steer,

Away from the bland and unimaginative sphere.

Courage lies not in mimicking, nor in silence mere,

But in daring to be true, without a tear,

For we are not here to fade, disappear,

But to question, confront, and engineer.

As the evening draws near,

Peer into the mirror, banish the veneer,

Acknowledging authenticity so sheer,

Awake each dawn, with resolve severe.

Be unapologetically you, no need to adhere,

Leave your mark upon the atmosphere,

Embrace your essence, crystal clear,

And etch your story on the cosmic frontier.
