I’m sorry.
I know I am born to be brilliant and to do important work
and I’ve been hiding …
I’ve been scared
I’ve been scared to be seen and for others to reject what they see
I’ve been scared to be laughed at
I’ve been scared to be loved and to lose that love
I’ve been scared to love and to lose those I love
I’ve been scared to be found wanting
What scares me most
is that
I die
and
leave the world as I found it
with just as much pain
and confusion
and lack
and loss
and that I leave with all my gifts inside me
the brightness
and beauty
and hope
and dance
and awareness
and clarity
What will we all lose if you do the same?
