Empowerment comes in the bloodiest forms
It hurts, but the strong will always rise
They rise like beautiful flowers from the most dead of ashes, because a fire didn't stop them
It's okay to not be okay as long as you never stop trying because there is a whole world out there that has yet to be explored
Because the moon and the sun set upon the same sea even when the water isn't calm
Beauty is not symmetry, but the ability to see the light behind those unsymmetrical eyes
You can dot your I's and cross your T's, but who is to say that this language is yours
Building a wall of diversity and breaking it down to have unity after the war
And sometimes, not everyone makes it out alive
But you did, and you are
And after all this..., I think I'm okay now
