looking into oneself... having the courage to look at the places which have been hurt, despite the pain, for this is part of the healing process...

empowerment comes from exposing oneself, including one’s areas of vulnerability... bring to the outside what is hidden inside...

Introspection II

I see you feel restrained, mechanized, dehumanized
I see you feel estranged, incomplete, dissatisfied
Anything for a refuge, an island for your mind, a flight, a break
No amount of diversion or substance will ever dissolve the lake

Low confidence, you can’t make a move without a guide
Right now should you laugh or cry ? Live or die ? Can’t even decide ?
The choice is so easy if only through my eyes for once you’d see
You can break down your wall or endure all that will be

You wanted advice ?
It’s about time you showed

Another you - the true you
Afraid of the way they will see
The one who hides inside
Another you - let them see
The flame in your heart
Shine
If you try you can end your misery

Absolutely correct! If people had even a ghost of an idea of the true depth of their capability...
