us.

Uninspired,

but full of hope

sheltered by those who will listen.

held and encouraged, supported, believed.

safe, even when you don't glisten.

growing, if slowly; not dying, not dead

under the watch of protection

that knows who you are when even you don't...

when you're scared of your own reflection.

embraced, celebrated, and kept from collapse

by a people who knows your heartbeat

until you are stronger than you are right now,

until you can stand on your feet.

this is the answer to our hurting place.

it's what the world's begging to see -

a great revolution of "us", not of "them";

and in my life, it's starting with me.
