Feeling , so much
When I was young I was hurt in so many ways
The sting of the belt hurt much less than their words of rage
I sensed their anger was needed to keep them sane
So I did cry and did bleed to ease their pain
I want so to please you, I yearn so to heal you
Trying so hard
Sometimes I wonder why I did not run away
Why did take all their punches and not repay?
Now that I’m older and wiser I still give way
Defending myself is not something I do with grace
I pushed you away hard, I shouted to wake you
I’ve wandered far from the land of my past
I’ve changed it all, at least what I could grasp
My goal is always to unite and to attend
To honor our differences, what’s torn let’s mend
My passion I use to satisfy need
To reveal the shared not to believe
For if all is opinion than there is no we
There is no discussion only empty soliloquy
I feel the calm the storm’s passed away,
the power’s not gone it gives depth to the day
It would be wrong to castrate or delay
My passion for life, make intensity a mistake
My lust for union is real, not want to isolate,
It’s not just my idea , not a debate
That all should have a meal a safe place,
That people want to feel a comfortable space
Don’t tell me it’s all opinion, toss the real into oblivion
I’ve wandered from the land of my past
Changed it all, at least all that I could grasp
Let’s build together a better place
Not a realm of ideals a real space
Let’s not fight gravity, let’s accept we’re human beings
Nothing perfect, nothing complete
Wonderful limitations the beauty of sleep
Anchored in gravity
Do you feel the gravity?
