Becoming
I am becoming
awakening
stirring the flames that I subdued for you
cultivating the embers
that ate away at my innards
When did I allow
my fangs to produce honey
when venom was what I needed
to stand up for myself?
Too long I’ve tarried
in the shadows
shedding one skin only to don another
caught between a disguise of who I am
and who they want me to be
