Grace is not a Given

The world looks different through everybody's eyes If you don't conform expectations you must wear a disguise But what if we removed our armor to reveal who we truly are Could people find beauty in what we thought were scars? Opening our minds and hearts can create more space To hold other's lived experience with a warm embrace So while we'll never be able to see through someone else's eyes We can soften our gaze to give them comfort to take off their disguise
