see my love
I apologize because I know that
this is not your style, I’ve always
tried to bend to you
appeal to you
for sake of you
but over-bent I
folded through
I weakened me
became untrue.
.
my self besides, so long I drifted
unidentified
and letting simple little anger
turn to hatred couldn’t separate from
senses left off common sense I turned away
I let escape
neglected all the ways you saved me
certain you caused all my failure
blamed you for my self derangment
sure that you tried to contain me
but I’m not weak like I was then
at least
I’m stronger than I’ve ever been and
I can know now my own faults
without ignoring yours as well.
see,
once upon a time you saved me
raised me up from holes been digging
seventeen long years of suffering and
taught me how to manage living.
now I will do the same for you I’ll
lead you to a concrete truth
to recognize your sheltered view as
inhibited and
overdue
and show you growth you can’t deny
like child-bones that reach for sky
beneath your skin and
out of it
awaken your
new consciousness
and get you closer
make you stronger
show you love that does not falter
give you the new heart in me
the heart it took to make me free and know that
it has now begun, I
see my love in everyone
and their love lives inside me too
and part of that is part of you.
