I woke with sunshine on my face

The morning light feels warm and bright

Hot tea and toast, my perfect place

I smile because the world's alright

The sky above looks clear and blue

I'm living life the way I choose

My heart feels light, my spirit true

There's nothing here that I can lose

I've stumbled through my share of pain

But counting wins instead of falls

The love I've found will still remain

When failure's voice no longer calls

I won't pretend to be someone

That others want but isn't me

I like myself, my battles won

Authentic is the way I'll be

My truest friends speak without masks

We share our thoughts without a care

No need for games or hidden tasks

Just honesty we freely share

These precious moments that we keep

Are treasures time cannot erase

The memories we hold so deep

Bring warmth to every breathing space

I'm living life my very best

Though nothing's perfect, that's okay

My heart has found its place of rest

In being real from day to day

This imperfect but beautiful life

Fills every corner of my soul

Through joy and even times of strife

I'm learning how to feel more whole
