Intro:
Falling Into Being is a minimalist poem that explores the moment of self-realization, the descent into self-awareness, and the feeling of coming to terms with one’s own existence. It reflects on the clarity and weight of finally seeing oneself.

Poem:
i fall into myself,
a slow descent
into the known unknown.

all that was hidden
now bare,

and i am left with the ache
of simply being.
