DARLING.

Darling, They will ask of you silence They will ask of you rage They will give you no time to make a mistake They will have no explanation And every excuse They will do everything they can To destroy you But you Must. Not. Let. Them. Darling, They will tell you about your skin They will tell you about your bones They will even tell you about your marrow But they will never know your name. Darling, Give them a good reason To know your name You are a miracle A survivor of yesterday's bloodshed A reason to believe in Change Stars and planets collide with the thought of you Time stops to welcome you You are made of light. Darling, They will fear you because of this And that's Ok Do not be scared This world will give you anything If you fight for it So fight Fight with your mind Fight with your words Fight with everything you've got They expect nothing of you but surrender So stun them. Darling, Stun them with your intelligence Shock them with your well of passion and ability to love Terrify them with your grace and forgiveness And watch As they make space for you At the very table you created.
