We are not born to run and hide.
In the dark, we shall not remain.
For the eyes that once gazed upon
us with distaste or the poisonous
words of hate.
Into the light, we must walk.
That is our place, not for adulation or fame.
Only to reclaim that which we gave away.
Those who inflicted the pain walk without shame.
Some are now in their grave.
Their name we need never repeat, but their
deeds we no longer need to carry.
Let us not tarry.
Life is too precious to waste.
