The day is near when you will not
always want to share your soul.

Learn every flower has spent some
hours in daylight, aiding growth.

Next to a sprout, you're a high tower.
You have felt the sun's warm light.
Even if you grew in a forest's shade,
some of it made its way to you.

People shame you and think you'll hide,
so face them and strip them of power.
They disrupt peace because they're sour.

Most people won't think about you twice.

But there are some who take time to hate.
They think they know the way you move.
Your tempo, if they follow, can subdue.
You can lull them into a hypnotic state.

Since you have an audience, create.
Defy expectations and surprise them.
If you're brave enough, let them notice.

You can act out a monologue on stage.

You have the spotlight; it's yours, alone.
