Take me back
To when I was invincible
To when I could protect myself
And the mask I wore
Was not one of fear and doubt
But now
My cape has been clipped
And my identity exposed
My superpower
Is super useless
Because the forces of evil
Now live inside me
And they taunt and torture
With the cruelest of intentions

Blessing

I bless this part of me

This pulsating part of me

That hurts like hell

But reminds me why

I am here

It feels like fire inside

And stings like a thousand swords

But I pause

To bless it

Because without it

I would be

Just another pile of dust

Or a lifeless breath of air

A wave in the wind

Just saying goodbye

And so I 

Say this blessing

Of thanks

And giving

Of this reminder

Why I am living

For all the hills

Hurt

And hate

Will carry me

Like walking on knives

To that relief of happiness

Heartbeats

That feel like a song

Melodious

And magical

I bless myself

For you have blessed me

And I will be a vessel

To carry this goodness

To others

Pass this blessing

To the world...

Chain Mail Love

I am afraid

But my face

Is armored

And my heart is

A shield

You can strike me

Like me

Love me

But you won't get past

All these defenses

I have

Because

The last person

I gave my heart to

For safekeeping

He left me longing

Alone

And wondering

What I did wrong...

I Like to Feel...

I like to feel

A thousand emotions

A pounding storm

A racing heart

A slow trickle

A hard hit

Slow dance

Small secret

Deep wonder

Below

Everything

Is anything

The possibility

Of becoming

A mirror of myself

Or a feeling figure

Contained in this flesh

Bound by skin and sinews

But if you

Cracked my bones

I would not shatter

For the matter

Of dust

Is simply where I came from

And where I will return

.

He said no

I knew he would

Not the type

Not right

Too this

Too that

I danced around

I went under

And over

To hear

No

A resounding

Pounding

Heart wrenching

No

But then again

Maybe

That's what I wanted

All along.....

Fool

Fools

and devils

the lot of them

wild

animals

their lashing tongues

and racing hearts

I fear I cannot escape

their gnashing teeth

And hypnotic eyes

But I

I have been hurt

They have cut me

I bleed

colors I never saw

Before

And my heart

My heart has been turned against me
My closet comrade

Now a fearful foe

Enemies

Dangerous

Beasts.
