Fresh Start

Sequoia

The metamorphosis of long enforced rules

From condemnation of self

To a glorious freedom

Of the light deterred for so long

Finally set burning through the facades

Created for safety

But destroyed all the same

The fear of living

Making way for the beauty

Held at bay for so long

For fear of ridicule

Of being wrong

Of feeling beautiful

And inspiring wonder

When the world would burn these dreams

Take what they can and destroy what is left

But what they'll never know

Is the strength that comes

From surviving the flames

And burning all the brighter
