For all those…

For all those who have yet to find your voices

For all those who have but are too afraid to use them

For all those who hear the voices

in your head telling you that you will never be good enough

smart enough

beautiful enough

rich enough

For all those who are afraid what it means

if you fail

For all those who are tired from trying so damn hard

and failing anyway

For all those whose hearts are breaking and shattering

from all the loss and pain and destruction

and hate and violence

For all those who look around in horror

For all those who look around in wonder

For all the cynics and misfits

apathetics and mystics

For all those who have lost faith

or just found it

or renewed it again

For all those holding onto a thread

in the Great Unravelling

and for those giving all you have

to reweave

And for all those who fall somewhere in the middle of it all

i too am all of this

i too am none of this

i too am you
