Your rhyme and flow are beautiful in this piece! It's a very important lesson and realization that our happiness comes from within, not from others or their opinions/beliefs about us.

A thought-provoking piece, searching for that meaning in life, that purpose I believe we all have. Love that ending too. The hope and inspiration that we can choose how we react or are affected by. We can choose to be hopeful for the future.

Take care!

Oh and welcome to PnQ, by the way :)
