I give myself away to the world

But the world does not own me

I give myself away to the world

But the world does not own me

I am not here on display because it gives me pleasure or to give you pleasure

My pain has brought me here

I have endlessly struggled to fit in, and so I let go of this desire

and so I am here for you

I live for you

I am here to help you

and to love you

out of my selfish need to be loved by God

I cannot be here alone on this Earth and not give sacred meaning to my life

I have to release the pain I feel

I allow myself to live free

I give myself permission to be happy

I am a creator

I am an artist

I am a dancer for life

will you join me in this dream

can we be wild together

may we create a pact for peace

let us create an uprising the world has yet to see

it aches for it, the Earth groans for it

is this not what we feel?

can it be this simple?

This is bigger than me or you

and even bigger than us

This union

this creation

is for the ones still not dancing

still not smiling

still not in love with everything that breathes on this Earth

Desire is not what has been happening here

it has always been a genuine gratitude

for a love more real than ourselves…
