Authenticity
is a complicated journey
to be easier with
yourself.
It isn’t always
pins or badges or pride flags…
sometimes it’s staring
down the mirror
and seeing all that
is love and wonder and worthy
within you.
Even when our
societies and bodies
betray us,
our hearts are
a pulsing reminder,
a thrumming truth,
that no one can truly see
the very thing inside
that keeps us living.
