Don't be angry or frustrated -
Let them love you as they wish,
I hear the hushed voices that buzz around your ears,
So, since your gift is so remarkable,
You are never from my sight -
Tamyka Bell
These clothes do not suit you.
Just be your beautiful self.
As they deserve and as you have earned -
Do not hide your heart.
And I see you stand in courage through a vision blurred with tears,
For I've searched throughout the ages and I've waited all these years
To feel free like this forever, and to have allayed my fears.
Please let the world see you,
Perhaps never to know you,
But let them ask the questions
That can free the humble minds,
And answer in your true voice,
And look into their eyes,
Then vanish as you do.
My birthright, my star,
Please shine for me,
Just tonight.
