Very few of us are baggage free
To see clearly beyond labels
Which our true selves disable
Enable mental tapes to grow
Sow belief from insults’ dirt
will blurt inside our head
Led by Inferiorty piles will tower
Until our final hour we must
Seek self-trust, 'me', in my eyes
Realize we're created to be
Free, our true selves unravel
Travel as if we then intend
To end others’ tapes as boss
Toss old self doubt as we fly
Try to regain ourselves again
In pain the small helpless child
Meek and mild instead of strong
Has a long tough journey ahead
Instead can become our true self
A wealth that cannot be bought
But taught to lose baggage each day

This practice appears to be a loose descendant from 4th century Celtic poet use of aicill rhyme.
Hidden Rhyme, or Blind Rhyme is:
* suited to light verse. (anything goes!)
* structured at the discretion of the poet.
* best when L1 sets a rhythm and the following lines maintain the same cadence.
* composed with the end-word of each line rhymed internally in the following line.
* often but NOT always, written with the first line rhyming with the last line.
