It Is What It Is

Who is to say what is Light 
And what is Darkness?
Just because my new found freedom
Comes with new found knowledge
Does not mean that I am wrong.

What calls to me of the Darkness 
Is also a Light into and unto of itself
It calls to me more clearly than
Anything else ever has. It has
A power to make me feel alive.

It calls to me and lets me know
Who I am and who I am meant 
to be. I know there are people
Who will never understand that
This is something I feel is Right.

I feel this to my very core.
So many people think this
Is Deviance at its best. Not
I as I know I am not deviant
Just a woman who needs change.

A woman who needs unusual
Things to help me feel Alive.
Who needs to know my command
Is followed to the letter. To know it
is my will that is followed without question.

Welcome to my new found life of
Hope, Life, Pleasure and Pain.
Know that I do this of my own 
Free will and I have thought this
Through more so than you know.

I am not normal so everyone
Else's normal has not worked 
For me. For once I am alive
And in control of my Destiny.
Darkness or Light..it is what it is.......
