two or three things i know for sure.

there are two or three things i know for sure,

and one is that everyone has a story.

a story worth telling.

a story worth listening to.

there are two or three things i know for sure,

and one is that empowerment and affirmation

can only be found within yourself.

your identity is not found in the labels

the world has stitched into your clothes.

and it is not contained to the boxes the world has limited you to.

your identity is your own.

and it runs across borders.

it deconstructs labels and reconstructs truth.

it blurs the lines of boxes.

there are two or three things i know for sure,

and one is that when you withhold love from others,

you are only hurting yourself.

there are two or three things i know for sure,

and one is that life is not about the body.

it is not about the skin we are in.

but, it is about the heart.

the spirit.

the soul.

all of which are always trying to find their way home. to Love.

there are two or three things i know for sure,

and one is that Love wins. always.

even when the dark gets darker.

even when the Light seems to have faded away.

even when you can't even remember what Hope feels like.

what Faith feels like.

even when the world's illusion of power becomes overwhelming.

even when you feel smothered by the lies of society.

Love wins.

always.
