Shadows chased your footsteps
Fear tightened every stride
A restless heart kept fleeing
From truths you held inside
Breath slowed the frantic motion
Chest softened into place
A stillness broke the cycle
By meeting your own face
Glow rose from recognition
Calm touched the self once feared
A light reclaimed its purpose
The moment you appeared
Honor this brave returning
Let selfhood stand revered
Souls ignite their radiance
Through selves no longer feared
