Inside Out, Outside In

  I’m becoming—again and again, until it feels like my vision is fulfilled, value generated constantly. Inside out… outside in… I’m letting it begin.

I used to hold my belief in the space between -

lighten and darkness,
Told myself the fear was -

something I could keep;
But every locked-up secret turned to-

 weight on my mind,
So let the truth get louder than-

 what the noise can make.

Now I’m learning how to reinvent with-

the digital world in front of me
Let the silence make room for -

what I’m meant to be
From inside out—

I don’t need permission to change
Roots in my inner self, yeah, 

I’m breaking through the old frame
 

From outside in—

let the light convey nature wisdom
I’ll build what’s real with-

 the truth that I understand
No more hiding, 

no more bending backwards, 

no more “just to survive”
I’m becoming—again and again—

until it feels like-

 the journey is truthful 

I was getting intrigued,

 when the change is mixed with misjudgments
Trying to stitch up cultural cracks with -

integrity through articulated words.
As the mind can’t counterfeit what it already knows
So I’m turning every “maybe” into -

“here’s what I grow”

And I’m tired of getting stuck,
If I’m gonna be brave, 

I’ll do it where people roam

If the storm is loud, 

let it wash what’s been stuck
If the world feels wide, 

then I’ll learn -

where I’m standing and where I want to explore
I’ll start with my thoughts 

then I’ll prepare with my new journey
Let the good ripple out to -

where it’s needed most everywhere

From inside out—every scar has something to tell
Not a flaw, not a warning, 

but a map for my way to grow
From outside in—I’ll meet you where you stand
With a steady kind of hope that can’t be commanded
No more truth hiding, 

no more misjudgment, 

no more “just to survive”
I’m becoming—again and again,

until it feels like my vision is fulfilled,

value generated constantly.
Inside out… outside in…
I’m letting it begin.
