Lyrics by Ben Briggs: Don't let me know, Rainbow When it rains outside I'm a disaster Until you love me after, oh Don't let me go, Rainbow Stay by my side I'll disappear If you cannot hold me here, oh

Lyrics by Nokae: Didn't want to believe it when I realized that I was on my own In a crowd of laughing faces, I still feel like I'm alone Don't give up, keep on breathing, want to know that you're okay In this war to stay alive, just keep on fighting for today The voices keep on getting louder In my head they're screaming, shouting Try to fight, but they're just way too strong I try to run, but they get faster Don't know why it's me they're after When I feel like all my hope is gone I'll take them on Let it out, need some time so I can find my way to you Breaking right beneath the surface, you just don't know what to do You know that you can't keep this up all by yourself Deep in your eyes, I can see that you're crying out for help

about

This story begins with my loss of self-control despite favorable circumstances, doomed romance and the independence of being left alone to fight my bullies and weakness. It explores my self-acceptance that ignited the most intense experiences of my life; whether discovering my PTSD terrors or learning to love myself, it was far from easy. In that sense, this is about determination.

More importantly though, it's about honesty. I learned to be honest with myself and extend that openness to others. This is how I met my current partner and fell in love, exposed and unafraid, sharing every bit of ourselves with each other. Our team effort-- with all its ups and downs-- is my light in the dark. Every experience we encounter is given hope by our truth, and our combined force is unstoppable. All because we laid our souls bare and refused to look away.

I hope you benefit from this account of my 2017. It was a rough year for all of us, but don't give up. Take care of yourself, and keep your loved ones close. Be kind. Ask yourself difficult questions about who you are and what you want. Answer yourself honestly, especially if it makes you uncomfortable. I promise there is peace of mind beyond that discomfort... perhaps even true love.

Thank you for listening. Your support of my dream has kept me going in the darkest of times, and for that I am eternally grateful.

With love,
-Ben
