whether you

tell the truth or lies

are made of angels or spies

speak in whispers or cries

bid hellos or goodbyes

are an inferno or ice

indulge in virtue or vice

deal cards or roll dice

come with souls of men or mice

come as you are

every smile, every scar

every splinter, every star

with every tear-filled jar

stand as yourself and yourself wholly

disregarding your wings or the burdens you may carry

come unashamedly you and you shall be seen

for who you are and not who you wish to be
