Growth

To be truly at peace
Within
Takes a sacrifice

An acceptance

Of ones own failings

Be they real
Or yet to be

Humbled

Empowered

To humankind

To the greater
That exists just beyond

The journey
That brings you
Face to face
With your own fears

Depressing

Creating insecurities

Needing to be faced
Conquered

To move beyond

Is a lifetime
Of journeys

Traveled
Well worn

Or you
Cannot grow

You remain
An empty

Hollow

Shell
