I celebrate who I am every second,

 Every minute,

 Of every day for the rest of my life.

 I find happiness in every corner,

 Find courage in every step,

 And find hope in every drop from the hill.

 I was pushed into a red and black place,

 Trapped trying to escape,

 Reaching for the little sunlight far away,

 Where I could find my freedom. 

One day, I reached the sun,

My hope increasing in every step I  took to get to it,

I found the true me,

I found my heaven.
