Face yourself
Start where you are
Rip off the protective mask
Meet what scares you
Bear the pain you carry
It won’t kill you
It will hurt like hell
There is an intelligence
That won’t give you
More than you can handle
Trust the journey.

Everything denied
Eventually makes itself known
One way or another
All things want the light
The darkness finds a way
To express itself
And the shadow
Follows us because
It wants to come home.

Sometimes I feel we must
Cry the world back to life
To restore us to our naturalness
And remember our common humanity.
