Tracing myself in all the different colours of what life did offer
I never found one that spoke to me like home
Until I heard the voice of my heart
That asked me to look inside and know
That is the only place I belong to
Is the place called me
Even when darkness seems to ascend
Light is bound to make its way
Because you exist
In a place called YOU
Your fears shall cease to compound
For your capacities know no bounds
You know how to survive a broken self
All you ought to do
Is to find you in a place called you
Why look for stars in the sky
When a beam of light shines inside of you
Why locate colours of joy in the faces of others
When the shade of happiness exists in you
All you ought to do
Is to find you in a place called you
In the world of myth of lies
Let the truth of your heart prevail
Let the freedom of your soul
Shine, transgressing the bounds of control
For what you, the art yourself, fear of the world
You are the world you have been tracing all this while
You, the place you belong to
To accept, nurture and thrive.
