[Spoken Word: Phylicia Rashad]
Who are you?
Who are you in your rawest state?
Who are you when you're joyful?
When you're upset?
When you're frustrated?
What makes you sad?
Why do you cry?
Oh, but please don't cry, but if you do, laugh 'til you cry.​
Yes, do that​
Love so deeply, you taste it, and may that love be so sweet, your eyes drool.​
Cry when you're sad, but don't stay there too long, baby.​
Rinse your soul of the pain.​
You'll grow from it, just like our Earth after the sky cries aloud with thunder.​
Stand in the Sun after.​
Yes, the Sun.​
Always look to the light, may it be so bright.​
Tears fall.​
Cry, feel, be raw, bе, become.​
Pleasе accept who you are, because you—you are beautiful.​
In thy name.​
Hamdullah.​
