there’re endless compliments
of beauty
a confidence that feels real

everyone’s nice
no one judges inside
a community all its own

to walk away from that
takes strength
HIS strength

whether one knows it
or not

invisible chains
are hard to break
when you don’t know they’re there

if you know someone
who’s walked away
gotten out of that life

appreciate them
because it’s not easy
leaving what seems real

and compliment them
on the real beauty
that shines
