joy will find its way home
blankets of it are peeled away
layers upon layers
dripping
i choke on the stench
clinging
i panic from the light
smothering
i learn to breathe
binding
i ache to soar
freedom will come
joy will find its way home
the moment
if i were to touch you would you be real
revel your softness
celebrate your curves
acknowledge your strengths. beauty. passion.
could you be there with me in the moment
if you were to touch me would i be real
could you be with me in the moment
feel my strengths
caress my weaknesses
honor my scars
could you be with me in the moment
could i
would i
dare i
your answer
a bloom in Spring
bright. beautiful. sweet. inviting. anticipating.
unnoticed. neglected.
hope cooled. petals wilted.
your resounding answer
not good enough
not good enough
not good enough
