I say feel no insecurity
You and I, here, meant to be
In all our multitudinous forms
From finest minds to wriggling worms
I beg do not undo what’s done
Be proud of that which comes hard won
In darkest corner, furthest reaches
Obscurity might thwart, yet teaches
That if we keep our circle small
Anonymity need not cast pall
Our greatest strength, our self-respect
Reward will bloom despite neglect
Self-satisfaction is enough
It comes when made of sterner stuff
Block our ears from other’s hate
So insults do not penetrate
Celebrate our independence
Uplift to state of pure ascendence
No longer feel the need to hide
The light within, our sense of pride
The greatest thing that one can own
Fulfillment when one stands alone
Self-awareness sets you free
And knowing oneself is the key…
