Sometimes you wonder what you are and what you would be,
If you let it out, the feels you have held inside.
In the quiet moments constantly exploring the boundaries of your identity,
One the outer self another the inner self, the duality of both worlds yearning to collide.
The within self and the persona you present to the outside world are two different hacks,
What would happen if the inside self truly awakes?.
Feeling the within self like the tides arise in the sea,
what is it that takes to unlock the treasures that are held inwardly?
It seems profound yet so simply fine, what will happen,
when you actually meet yourself sometime?
A desire for authenticity is opening the boxes,
humans are indeed paradoxes...

This is a great sentence, Asma: "when you actually meet yourself sometime?" This really does make me wonder. Where I grew up, people are much more in tune with their inner self. But with the speed of modernity, it's very easy to get lost in the noise. And that drowns the noise inside, too. This is a great reminder. Thanks for writing this.
You will never know, unless you let yourself know.
The inside and outside will always be different; no one is really fully what they appear to be. However, the lesser the difference between these two personas, the better life will be.
Two people dwell in everyone of us. Some let the inner one be suppressed, and they often pay dearly for not allowing themselves be what they felt the inclination to be.
