Let Go

Shuffled in the deck of cards
Lost and alone among many
A mere spot on the blue globe
Looking to find a foothold
Tribe of people to understand
And to be understood by
Possessing the natural human trait
Wishing to have a place to belong
Not ridiculed or shamed
Not merely tolerated or ignored
A home of love and safety
Free to be that which we are
To discover and express
To dream, aim and achieve
Encouraged, motivated and supported
For this we must release and let go
Those who judge us and scorn us
Need us to remain behind them
Question, test and make us doubt
Family, friend or acquaintance
Only the constructive shall remain
