Authentic

And the silence hit.

The world grew dim

Almost out of focus

Just in that moment of existence,

the feeling of infinity arose in my frame.

It was the epitome of a miracle. 

Because in the silence, 

In the dark crevice of that second,

I found someone.

Me.

A familiar yet foreign version

Hidden from my conscious self

I had an epiphany of the inner soul;

A revelation concealed within myself. 

I grabbed her gently

For her state was raw

Undeveloped and new

She grew miles that day

Overcoming the matters of insecurity

Burning down bridges in a victorious glaze of personality

She was authentic

Hidden for too long

Her freedom created in a flash of silence

 

Author's Note

A pivotal point in my life.

its hard to free the other self when the others are constantly blocking, i mean, i think we have different perspective, different personality in our mind... the logical self is the head of them all and he/she is the one who keeps our feet down with reality. Nice write.

This read to me as something like one might see looking in a camp fire. It gives the visual that one might not expect.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

sometimes it takes years to actually find ourselves...and there is that moment...a key one...or perhaps several to find all of those hidden parts of us.

i have had several and can relate well to this.

thanks for this piece.

I agree. Years indeed....and in several steps

Finding a new part of yourself can be a powerful experience. Sometimes you never thought you'd be capable of some of the things you one day achieve. "I love this part here Overcoming the matters of insecurity
Burning down bridges in a victorious glaze of personality" Genious. Great rhythm and detail incorporated especially here, but all throughout the poem as well. Well done!
