MY PLACE – POETRY , AFFIRMATIONS & MORE

 I shrugged only slightly as I witnessed my former self slide off

detaching from my very soul

shedding layers off the who I thought I could or should be.

The who I sought to be quickly became different in this new awakening of my soul.

 

Watching in slight amusement I did not struggle to redo

In some ways I denounced my old self

along with former perceived righteousness

throwing caution into a breeze that quickly blew my old self back at me

 

  I choked back the life I barely recognized

and the her that I thought and fought so hard to be.

Born into the wrong as an unwanted

scarring my soul with the tears and

 

heartache cast from her genetics

that yearned for love as I formed

in sadness and disbelief

soon only to be met with scorn as I arrived.

 

The young years that followed

we trudged through poverty, horror and abuse

as we begged to be set free from the agony our life evolved.

 

but justice was as slow

as was the cold molasses

my grandmother poured

onto our near empty plates.

 

Love what is this lie

a falsehood that sells cartoons and Disney

leaving first only wonder then dismay

as loves endurance often failing in the shadows of temptation and reality.

Yet we reach, we hunger and we hope.

 

When the damaged soul seeks

it just means there remains an unquenched emptiness

that echos a deep ringing inside your head

that just grows louder and louder

Until it screams…more…
More MORE

 

Uncertainty, guilt and want

sitting shotgun as I travel this road of life

never knowing where my next turn leads.
