I was made
to serve, quiet and silent,
a living body ripped
of its tongue

where certain hellhounds
breathe down the necks
of suppressed females,
petrified, but still

unwillingly willing to please
the so-called men-gods.

I was born
in a world where opinions
and thoughts are stacked
pile upon pile, and while

my inner voices tries to
stretch itself awake sometimes,
only to be dragged back
into a drunken stupor,

but not before I see
salivating mouths, leering
...closing in upon me...

I was made human,
perhaps...

It’s the kind of sadness where your rib cage
Contorts
And twists and
Snaps.

Depression doesn’t float through my veins
It crawls through my bones, with dagger hands
And winding movements.

I cannot breathe.

And yet there was nothing taken from me.

I want to erase that ugly line.
It’s not seen but it’s there
Between you and me
Day and night
Deep down
Eating
Thru
Us!
You
And I
Created
And allowed
That line to grow
And build between us
A rift that makes us enemies
Drifting away as two islands!

Say what you want and do what you say
Forget what the naysayers are saying.
Baby you were born to shine
Don't believe anyone
Who tells you any differently.
Remember
Not everyone will be comfortable
With your sunrise
some people will misunderstand it,
Some people may mock it,
Some people will envy it…
But whatever you do
Baby shine anyway
You were not meant to shrink away
From the glory and grace
intended just for you.
Embrace each sparkle
Embrace every crumbs of the light
Please do not runaway from it
Because others failed to see you through
Soon you’ll realize that
By shining, you'll inspire others
To do the same.
Soon, the world will be brightened
And taken out of darkness
As they begin to realize
And understand their purpose as well
Because of You
Baby please do shine
Travel inside yourself,
You may be surprised how bright
You’re burning inside
Baby let the world feel your heat
Baby, Would you please do shine ?
