a narrow road

In shadows cast by narrow minds
Cruelty binds where whispers linger
The different tread on unknown paths
Their colors are bright, their hearts are lonely.

In silence, voice stilled, dry docked fear
Persecution leaves dreams unfulfilled
But in the darkness a spark is lit
They take their unconventional flight.

For in their rare strength of being
Resilience blooms, defying despair
Exiled yet upright
Their uniqueness breaks the wall.

Embrace the light, the brave, the bold,
In every story the truth emerges
For those who dare to stand outside,
Transforming the world, igniting the heart.

a narrow path

In shadows cast by narrow minds
Cruelty binds where whispers linger
The different tread on paths unknown
Their colors bright, their hearts alone.

In silence, voice stilled, drydocked fear
Persecution leaves dreams unfulfilled
Yet in the dark, a spark ignites
They take their unconventional flight.

For in their rare strength of being
Resilience blooms, defying despair
Ostracized, yet standing tall
Their uniqueness breaks the wall.

Embrace the light, the brave, the bold,
In every story, truth unfolds—
For those who dare to stand apart,
Transforms the world, ignites the heart.
