Coming Home to Who We Are

We are whole just as we are
And we will go where our truth calls
We may not know just where the path goes
But we’re coming home to who we are

Thanks for your love, but I don’t need your worry
If you think you know what’s better for me
It’s good to learn to trust myself & feel safe to be myself
With support from community

Our ancestors wouldn’t want us to suffer
They would want us to thrive
And when we find what brings us joy & meaning
They’d shep naches [feel pride] for our lives

Please don’t make me into a symbol
And I will try not to flatten you either
We are infinitely complex creatures
And we deserve to be known
