The Unveiling

I was told
My tears were crock tears.
Injured wounds
Bled and cried inside

Still I heard:
You and I are free
Held by three:
You, me, spirit

Who is it?
Gender fabulous
Gender blind
Hurting womankind?

Cast a smile
No crowd a frowning
Clear your mind
Hold firm to winnings

Take fresh breaths
Take no hostages
That last breath
Will be of courage

Murderers
Called out by The Source
Serves one Force-
Redeeming our lives.

Dear Iris, From all the pain we experience in our life time, we draw an inner strength, for we are the survivors those who were born to excel forward, those chosen to over come the obsticles placed before us no matter what the cost except our souls, and spirit or values. We must continue! We are the ones kicked aside, yet we thrive, the challenaged but we strive, the unappricated, yet we focus on what really matters and we get it done, we are the survivors, and I love how you say it, cheri
