Returning to my Essence

I returned to my essence, and enchantment unfolded.

I ceased to insist where my desires found no echo.

No longer confined to idle chairs, I relinquished waiting.

Unburdened from expectations on those who lacked time for me.

No more pretense of mutual understanding.

Gazing into hearts unwilling to beat alongside mine, I let go…

And then, enchantment.

I rediscovered myself, the ultimate destination.

Back to the core of my being, the sole path forward.

Reunited with myself, the long-awaited rendezvous.

I beheld my innermost vulnerabilities, my soul parched and pleading for attention.

And I embraced myself.

I comforted myself.

I embraced myself.

I found solace in my own embrace.

I bestowed upon myself the gift of self-recognition.

Different, yet unbroken, I reclaimed myself.

I am whole once more. I possess the keys to unlock the doors within.

Here, within me.

Externally, mere locks.

Yet, it is I who determine where and how.

I dictate the path.

I shape the journey.

I select my companions.

I define my desires, and I pursue them without hesitation.

The enchantment returns to me, ever-present but unseen.

I descended into the depths of my shadows and emerged anew.

I embraced myself, embraced acceptance, and persisted.

And now, here I stand, imbued with magic once more.
