The sunlight within the break of dawn
Could hopefully inspire people to continue on,
And after the sun also rises,
Be prepared instead of scared
For an entire life filled with surprises,
But remember how there is no need
For a disguise that would conceal,
For it is better to cope with all that is real,
And rather than have a mistaken identity,
Dare to actually care
Through the acceptance of the human identity,
And by choosing to live with authenticity,
Life within itself
Would be full of everlasting beauty,
And find a way to use today
To grow as well as know
About how life could be like a theatrical show,
And play the role that one must perform
With the audacity to defy the norm
So that the world itself would reform
By shining like stars that would illuminate the night
While observing the patterns within hopeful light
