To all those who helped me
who sheltered me from shame.
For all who held me
remember my name.
To everyone who encouraged
when I fell into doubt
you took me from disbelief
and look at me now!
An ode to my lovers
who found me a home in my skin.
A toast to all the friends
who trusted and let me in.
My gratitude to the teachers
who never gave up on me
Thank you to every person
who helped me to be.
