Oh what joy
To open up and be free
To share all the secrets that you keep
To expose yourself and have a conversation so deep
  that every fiber of your being is plunged into the darkest seas
To float up out of the depths into the skies above
  all the way to the stars and heavens that shine brighter than love

Oh what joy
To be yourself when you are not alone
To bare your soul and for all your sins atone
To breathe as if from your lungs was removed a heavy stone
  that blocked your passageways for every moment you have ever known
To burden another with all that you have done
  and see that your wrongs have hindered them none

Oh what joy
To know these sensations
To exclaim in celebration
To shout at the top of your lungs with no rebukation
  and never to fear any form of denigration
To free your mind of all that clouds it
  taking hope and expanding infinite

Oh what joy
To dream that it were true
  but reality is overdue.
