Being you is Beautiful. Being yourself is Brave.

Calm your inner soul,

and the storm outside clears itself.

What you see in yourself

matters more than how you’re seen.

Because you are not just colour.

Not just an accent.

Not just where you are from.

Not just your grades, your job, or your pace.

To yourself,

you are whole.

To yourself,

you are safe.

And, no it’s not you.

You’re not why you were othered.

You belong where you choose to.

Because being you is beautiful.

But being yourself is brave.
