To be accepted and loved
For exactly who you are
Feels so rare and strange
It takes a second, or 40,000, to accept it.
And then it’s like a door,
You never knew existed,
Has been unlocked,
With a key you never knew it needed,
And you’re flying.
You’re soaring and sobbing and scared
And it’s freeing and beautiful and terrifying
And a million more emotions,
That you didn’t even know existed.
I say fuck it
Fly. Fly into the currents
And feel the good as it swallows you whole
Having faith that should you fall
You have stood back up
Every other time before
And you most certainly will stand up again.
