I’ve been trying to be in agreement With you and your power Begging you to use it wisely Versus allowing maggots to Plant seeds in your Fertile Crescent Convincing yourself that you’ll birth butterflies But somehow they won’t escape from their cocoon You are bruised And scattered From accepting changing faces with the same name and vernacular just to feel the depths of your vessel Beat it up just enough for you to think you’ve discovered your worth And now, you think you are dying I told you, you’re worth more than fake ******* and the subtle loneliness you experience when he comes inside of you You are the universe Yet you’re Buried in darkness Only to make your journey around the sun To find redemption It is time To come together Come back to me And coexist in one being Surrender to your truth
