shenita-etwarooAnimal Rights and Other Poetry By Shenita Etwaroo From All-Creatures.org


Step into the light

Let go of your shroud of clouds
Your shade and your shadows.
Turn your face up
to the warmth of the sun
and the bright stars.
Light can be scary
It reveals
cracks, scars, bruises, tears.
In the light
others see you,
and you must see yourself.
But be brave
be bold.
Light will show you the world around.
Light will lift you up,
energize you,
help you grow.
Like sunshine
fueling a flower,
light will lift you up towards the sky
So step into the light
and find a world
that’s new and bright.
