Like Amaterasu, I have withdrawn to a cave
Chastised by my self-hatred, no reason to be brave
But then I heard some noise outside, a person lured me out
She held up a mirror so I can see my light
She showed me that I am important, that I shouldn’t hide
That even if I feel the darkness, I still cast some light
