No longer living in a dark cocoon of ignorance and self hate,
I emerge into life as a transformed butterfly.
With my eyes finally open,
I am discovering the beauty of my own existence.
I have awakened from the lies told to me in yesteryear.
I am now conscious of my splendor and truth.
And I soar in the awareness of my freedom and potential.
