To be accepted is one of the most wondrous things

When you are afraid for all that you are, for all that you've become

Convinced that others will push you away, that you will face rejection from those you love

And to be met in the face of it all...

And see your fears were wrong

I am accepted

I am loved

And I am accepted and loved as Vivian

Accepted as the woman I am, not the boy they thought I was

I am Vivian
