A voice, a vision, a spark, a flame..

Now it's time to look beyond the blame..

I've opened the door, and faith stepped in..

Finally I'm ready for my life to begin..

Not as it was, or how I thought it should be..

But with my past and future, emerged authentically..

Beyond the silence, the Shame, and the fear..

I've grown through the pain, that brought me here..

I'm learning to live, with both laughter and tears..

And to trust myself, as well as my peers..

Learning to feel, to love, to guide..

I know I am not damaged, and have no reason to hide..

Although I still struggle daily to survive, I'm finally happy to be alive..
