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
