Now that I have some leisure, let me make a comparison. Show me a depiction of my true, original self.

The poet is taking a moment for self-reflection. Now that they have some free time, they want to use it to look back at their past. They're asking for a clear picture or memory of who they truly were, their original self. It's about comparing that 'original me' with who they are now, perhaps to understand how they've changed, grown, or even strayed from their core. This couplet beautifully captures the desire for introspection and understanding one's own journey.
