Nico's POV

I must

My wings will thrust

Out of the cocoon

Humming to a comfortable tune

The flames will lick my feet

They will be fleet

But I don't care

I will ignore the stare

I must ignore the stare

I must not care

The truth will blossom

Beautiful to some

Ugly to most

My sexuality does not define me

My sexuality will not define me

My sexuality must not define me.

The butterfly will not flee

From the pressure of the crowd

It will fly loud and proud

Into the summer sky

Showing off its individuality, to the eyes that pry

My heart, I will trust

I must.
