You don’t have to be afraid,
This morning is different now.
When you wake,
You can be alive
Like you are when you dream
And the sun will not hurt
Because you are no shadow to anyone,
You will no longer be a secret.
Today
You will tell of your name
In a song,
In a story,
With such passion
That you too,
Will know yourself.
And you will not regret this.
It’s your time
To feel that you have reason
When love is what you do,
You give what to you is love.
So there will be no nights
Of wishing away your difference.
You will close your eyes
With sighs of contentment,
Believing that tomorrow is still the very day
That you enjoy
Your reality
And your hopes,
Being the same thing.
Who you are
And who you want to be,
We are the same.
