    With myself.

    For growth.

    My life.

    I feared hate
    Until I saw that it

    Ignorance.

    Making the darkness fade
    Into endless sunny days.

    Until I realized that
    I gained wisdom every day.

    I feared the future
    Until I realized that
    Life just kept getting
    Better.

    Until I realized that
    It could no longer hurt me.

    Until I learned that the
    Truth would give me
    Strength.

    Until I saw that
    Even the most beautiful butterfly
    Had to undergo a metamorphosis
    Before it could fly.
