| forget | then remember |
| everything that you know | who you are |
| about yourself | there is no question |
| you were never yours | to abuse |
| to begin with | this is sacrilege |
| you have always been sky | carrying coruscating diamonds |
| being imprinted with someone else’s stars | in your indigo flesh |
| chained cosmos | is no easy heartache |
| a flesh-locked deity | you must break open |
| a wicked case of amnesia | must resurrect from the silent void |
| stars without a reason | must learn to shine, for |
| you are you | you are holy |
| you belong to us | beloved |
| you are divine | and irreplaceable |
