There is a moment you realize
That you are the most illuminate goddess
But you are also a terrible monster
There is majesty laced into your bones
And a powerful roar pushing against your lungs
You have wisdom and wickedness written on your heart

There is a moment you decide
To stop searching for yourself in the darkness of shadows
In the life you led before this,
You sought your reflection only in shattered mirrors
Your brokenness manifested through a thousand shards of glass

There is a moment you discover
The stars that live in your eyes
You have never been alone
You have a home in the sky
There is an entire constellation
Who misses you so profoundly

There is a moment you set out
To stop hiding from the world in caves or under oceans
The sun was not made to burn you
And moonlight will make you glow
The darkness will not whisk you away

There is a moment you let yourself breathe
Because your best was always enough
You had goodness in your heart
And battle in your soul
You did all you could
It’s just that after a while
Everything becomes a burden

The moment you realize that you are beautiful
The world comes to life around you
You are awash in a newfound and breathtaking power
The moment you decide that you are beautiful
You are free
