Embracing What Makes Me Human
The breath threatens to leave my lungs
suffocated & smothered
Blindness to this
I hold it in my palm, open and forward
He's scared of my fear, of my heart, of my all
Darkness always follows light
But he's scared
Of my fear, of my heart, of my all
Of what it will make him feel
He leaves my questions unanswered
leaves me wanting, searching
I feel lost and unseen for who I am, what I am
What I hold inside
Dancing in the chambers of my blood heart
Skulking in the shadows of my mind
I can feel the heat of perfect truth probing at the deadwood of fragmented thought
He's scared to hear, to see, to feel
Why are you scared of my spirit? Because it pulls to the forefront of your mind all the things you lack, all the things you want, all the dark twisting violence that you hate but cannot turn away from in your own reflection
I have no fear anymore, I've surpassed the need to drink from this cup..
The need that's left gets chipped and scattered
I crave my own! And why can't I have it?
I hide it all away, to shelter you from my dark, to let you believe that I hold only joy at this domestic existence But there's scars and tissue and tendon that bleed, that demand aggression and evolution
But he's scared, of my thought and my prayers, because I am unconventional, spiritually tall
And so unafraid of unleashing raw emotion
Passion
Sexuality
Femininity
So unafraid to embrace humans' need to feel hate along with love Aggression with gentle compassion
So unafraid to embrace all of my Self
