Reflections; We Are Mirrors

you don't shine to show off.

you shine because your are embodied.

when your light hurts another

it is because they have

dimmed theirs.

the bars that no longer hold you back

are the bars you've just illuminated.

when you are brilliant

it is natural.

we each bloom according to our own season.

denying your radiance

won't ever replace

or create

someone else's.

each time you shine

you liberate fear

and embody truth.
