Part I

See me on the other side;
Past the critic's cry;
And the friend's long sigh.

To me and free;
From self-deceived white lies;
And myth's tall tales of would-be thrills.

Do not hear what others say;
Meet me here in this shy, secret gate.

Together we shall see;
who we be, to be, forever be.

True to self and true to you;
No one else dictates;
Say who I am and who I be.

See me other the other side.
