Being You, Unashamed

Your inner voice matters

More than the external noise

More than any unsolicited opinion

More than the weight of expectations.

Your deep knowing speaks the truth

Even when it is externally contradicted

Even when they say you are misguided

Even when there is no other evidence

Than then feelings in your heart.

Trust that part of you that is certain

Without fear of what may be

Without doubting your intuition

Without giving in to defeat

Being you, unashamed

Saying what you need to say

Standing up with kind assurance

Letting the cards fall as they may.
