Take heed

I am telling you

For all the hatred that you have met

For all the jealousy disguised as arrogance

And the anger that they hurled at you to cover up their fear of failure

And all the shame that someone

injected into your fragile youth

I am telling you

For all that

For the hurricanes of hurt

And earthquakes of injustice

There will come a time

When your golden shadow will rise from

the shallow waters in which they tried

to drown your courage

And your wings of copper orange and

purple pink will melt into the sky like a

sunrise

And you will dance on the peak of mountains

like summer rain

While the very same people who scorned you now

welcome you into the world again like a new born

Take heed

Bury your sorrows in these words

I am telling you

That You will be whole again
