" Light breaks darkness, and chains fall
away like fetters loosed from my hopes.
No blind folds. I want to see you.
No masks. I want you to see me.
There is no deception in truth.
I hold up my head and walk through
the pain of what once was to what now is.
I've opened that door.
I've come in to stay.
Love has made me welcome,
and I know that I am home. "
