I no longer seek the weight of tolerance,
where hearts withhold, and minds resist,
I step into the light of being seen,
celebrated for the essence, I exist
No longer bound by fragile strings,
I move with grace in sacred air,
a soul unburdened, free of fear,
for I am loved, and I declare—
It is soothing, like a gentle stream,
to bask in joy, where trust abides,
In spaces filled with love, with ease,
where friendship flows and truth resides
No more do I bend to placate hearts
that have not honored me from the start,
I release the debris, the dust of the past,
and witness the rebirth of a soul that will last
In the silence of true companionship,
where laughter blooms and kindness reigns,
I find the courage to show my face,
to embrace my worth without chains
The air is rich with sacred breath,
as love’s light breaks through the haze,
and I dance in the radiance of my truth,
in the beauty of being celebrated, always–
