Posting on a bad day: poem

Why can't I SPEAK?

on my knees...

Why can't I SPEAK?

Does anyone hear my heart chattering,

pit, pat, pattering,

knocking on heavens rock... loud...

does anyone know that I'm broken?

innocence stolen, like a thief in the night?

... no longer a prisoner,

no longer letting stains pierce my eyes with the past

I'm opening up the glass of victory

shattering my painful misery

with the truth of love and peace

with the voice of intimacy and trust

with everything and anything they tell us we can't be!

when in fact, we are, the sons and daughters of

LOVE.

LOVE.

unfailing LOVE.

and we are free.

remove your chains.

THEY are not oppressing us anymore.

THEY no longer carry our innocence.

We are NEW, brand new,
like a fall day

or a butterflies faith...

accept it.
