We are not our stars
We are not the space between
We are the crevice in the sidewalk
That shows a flower the sun
We are the moon at dawn
Never failing to show its light, though dim
We light our way
We are not our wars
We do not hurt for pleasure
We hurt for we are hurt
And we heal when we are whole
We are not our bodies
We are not scars
We are not bruises
We are the skin that grows tougher
We are the feet that keep running
We are the hands that keep making
We are our minds
The beauty
We are not our hurt
We are the healing
We are not our God
For our God shows us
We are not our stars
We are the universe
And we are the universe
