January 2020
The smallest pin prick of light
Opening, opening
It’s there
But it’s not yet here
I have to get there
I must
So so so close
What’s at stake?
It’s not as though the journey will end
That’s exactly what’s at stake
To journey in the light
To get out of this tunnel
To push ahead in light
In love
In freedom
In power
I can stand up for myself
I can know when I’m being hurt
I can be angry
I can disagree
I can resist
I can let people go at their own pace–
It doesn’t mean I have to stop
Pushing towards the light.
I can give my heart a rest when it hurts
I will be ok
I made it this far
And if I died today
This is how I spent my final days
And I am so so proud
