True to ones self

In the quiet corners of our minds, we tread,
Where shadows linger, and truths often dread.
To be honest with self, a daunting endeavor,
Yet in that bright light, we find our true tether.

Peering deep into the mirror's embrace,
Revealing the fears that we'd want to erase.
Each flaw a reminder, each scar a proud mark,
In the tapestry woven, we find our true spark.
