I am alone – Only when I choose to be
I am more than my scars. I am more than my suffering. I have laughter, and giggles, and deep thoughts and dreams. My skin tingles with life, and gifts springing forth.
And my darkness was safety, because they know me there. But if I dare
To go beyond the edge of what I know
If I dare to dip my toes into the light
I might not shrivel up
I might not be booed away
I might not sizzle in the heat
