• Let them flow, these tears of yours
    Reason is not like water, for it is unessential
    Have they taken their shoulders from you?
    Here’s mine, don’t worry – it’s alright to be sad

    Shout, scream, blame the world freely
    Let loose that rage, burning like an unstoppable fire
    They say ‘stop, it’s not smart’ – cast them aside
    Intelligence is your own – it’s alright to be angry

    It’s false, they say? To them, it may be
    You decide what it is, and know that you’re right
    Temporary, though it may be, seek what you desire
    Let the joy fill you up, no matter what – it’s alright to be happy

    Is it clear like the sky, or chaotic like the stars?
    The truth isn’t always so obvious
    Take your time, in this pursuit of meaning and reality
    Proof may deny, but faith will not waver – it’s alright to be confused

    It’s so powerful, but that’s what makes it fearsome
    Beyond attraction, encompassing lust, two people bonded as one
    You long and are longed for, and separation? Like knives to the skin
    If it’s true, it can survive anything and everything – it’s alright to love

    Natural, biological, unavoidable? Perhaps
    If you feel it, be careful – let it be a feeling, not a passion
    For when your being is behind it, it may consume and destroy you
    Even so, you’re free – act on it thusly – it’s alright to want

    Dare you ask ‘Am I here?’
    If you ask how or why, you may never find out
    So many answers, only you know which one is right
    See, breathe, do, be, however you wish – it’s alright to exist

    A friend, an enemy, a planet, a speck
    Love everyone, threaten anyone, deny all, accept nothing
    In the end, you shape your own self and destiny
    And through it all, remember
    Whatever you are
    Whatever you were
    Whatever you will become
    It’s alright to be
