What You Are
You find yourself rising
high above churches
and judges. What you
were most afraid of
at night, the whispers
you thought would betray
you are the things you now
accept. It’s not meant to break
you just open you. You hurt
but you have learned. You
become more of what
you are, which is
love outside
the cathedral. A heart
taken to court
to be unjudged.
