Stand Up

Against popular belief and practice
I show my true self
I do not hide in fear of judgement
I am present
I no longer cower for the shadow of acceptance
I accept myself
In the aftermath of standing up
There are losses
But I fear not the cleansing
They are not my tribe
And I am not theirs
Only the harmony of resonating frequencies
Can play in our orchestra
Of true relations
And together we make magic
Of encouraging one another
Supporting and loving
Looking for the best
Being the best
Unafraid
Of what anyone will think
