Trembling Truth

21.01.2024 | Bomonti, İstanbul

The way I accepted
is no act of defeat —
it is surrender
to the rawness of existence.

A respect for life,
and trust in the quiet truth of myself.
Peace settles
into the depths of my individuality —
rooting me in the vastness of the whole.

Hope no longer cages me,
no longer binds me
to illusions.
My choices —
they quake,
stirring the earth beneath my feet,
awakening the path ahead.

I am alive,
in the trembling beauty
of my authenticity.
