Birthright

Deep in the dark cave of my abandoned heart

I found you little one

Covered in ashes

Cowering in the shadows

Kneeling in mud

Waiting for rescue

Who was it that exiled you

And was it only personal

I don’t think so

For if you are the lost child

We no longer found a way to

And if you were the one

Crying alone along the long corridor of ages

Is it not right

That now we bend to meet you

That we wrap our loving arms around you

And nurture you

For you represent all the potential

We lost the way to

When we believed in their lies

And your eyes can never remain

Permanently sightless

When all along they were meant

To shine free

Of any shame

The powers at large

Forced you to contain

Reflecting the starlight

That is and always was

Your true birthright
