Beneath my skin, a universe unfurls,

A tapestry of stories, secrets, and pearls.

I am not just flesh, not just bone,

I am a symphony of dreams, fully known.

In the mirror's gaze, I find my face,

A reflection of a journey, a boundless chase.

But peel back the layers, strip them away,

You'll see the heart of me, night and day.

I've walked through shadows, tasted the night,

Battled the storms, sought the guiding light.

In the depths of darkness, I found my spark,

A fire within that lights up the heart.

Through the maze of doubts, I've roamed,

Carving my path, making this place my home.

I've stumbled and fallen, but I rise again,

For every scar, a story, inked by my pen.

In the whispers of the wind, I hear my name,

In the dance of the flames, I play life's game.

I am the artist, the canvas, the brush,

Painting my world with each bold hush.

Beneath my skin, an ocean of dreams,

Where life's currents flow in shimmering streams.

I am not just flesh, not just bone,

I am a universe, fully known, fully grown.

So, listen closely to my beating heart,

It sings the anthem of life's art.

In every heartbeat, in every grin,

You'll find the essence of what lies within.

In the core of my being, colors collide,

The vibrant palette of life's endless tide.

I am crimson passion, azure dreams,

Golden hope that forever gleams.

I am the emerald of growth, the midnight's ink,

The hues of love, the thoughts we think.

In every shade, in every hue,

The masterpiece of me, I share with you.

In the canvas of my soul, constellations bloom,

Each star, a story, dispelling the gloom.

The galaxy of my spirit, vast and wide,

With nebulas of dreams, side by side.

I am the sun that rises, the moon that gleams,

I am the sum of countless hopes and dreams.

Beneath my skin, a universe resides,

Where love and courage forever abides.

So, come closer, look within,

The depths of me, where worlds begin.

In this symphony of self, so rich and bright,

You'll find the truth that ignites the night.
