What is beginning to thaw in you?

Once upon a time
A girl was forgiving
She didn’t get doubt
Knew no misgivings
Once upon a time
A girl tried to listen
To comprehend complaints
To empathize with schisms
Once upon a time
A girl’s life changed
New life, new set of rules
New pain
Once upon a time
A girl understood
That the early of her life
Was when she was most good
Once upon a time
A girl turned her back
She went her own way
And things began to stick
One time recently
I looked back at who I was
I was good
New me, I’m done

You held my emotions in your hands,
molding them into what you wanted me to feel
I let you—
until I realized
the shapes you made for me
were never mine to begin with

You can hear:

I start becoming more of

A myth about your eyes–
that they melt frozen souls
is true–
For I know the fire that brims
within me,
Spreads your fragrance.
The pain I hear
when your voice echoes...
In this world of poems and prose—
They call it a dashing rue.
My dashing rue.

The dream that was frozen
Now fulfilled through writing
I see with writing even the dreams if cold and old will thaw out
I thank the creator for allowing me to read and write.
I never would expierence
These lost lives with out literature
My dreams are thawing though I still have “limitations!”
But I can play within them.

my current class is on literature in the AIDS crisis and we read the anger of David Wojnarowicz as he was dying and the anger at the world for allowing the dying and im finding there's something of an anger that is thawing in myself and i think i should have always been angry for what has happened and what is happening. not the passive anger that was always there but the hot and desperate anger of a dying man in a world that sees his dying and deliberately turns away from it all

The fear of neglect,
neglect to self and burden to others
Tingling pins stabbing my wholeness of the thought of unavoidable despair and loneliness despite being in a room full of entangled word and sweet nothings

a loop of never-ending sorrow
never settles into a single feeling.
it only ends the moment you accept
that it is what it is—
and this is how it ends.

a beard through my skin
a cracking in my voice
a train ticket with names written on the back
a bright green binder under my shirts
when winter came i was a girl
as i slept under the ice she drifted away
when spring thaws the ground
and melts the ponds
i will have sunk into the shape of a man

Returned with awe

but I wasn't
and you left me in the dust
Only now does my
frozen heart begin to thaw,
her hand in mine to
promise me it all

Confianza
La sensación de entregarme
y sentirme protegida,
durmiendo entre tus brazos,
sintiéndome una niña.
Cuando creía que en el amor no confiaría,
llegaste tú apoyándome, diciendo que sí lo haría.
La suavidad con la que me convenciste aquel día,
nunca la encontraría ni aunque te buscara en otra vida.

Since last 19 years my grandmother used to hold my hand .
But now I did it on my own first time .
This moment is symbolizing me ,

Observing water color gnomes
Glide into a sleep
Chopping bitter rot
That has rooted
Which the goodly gnomes have
Whisked
Away into the nighttime.
