some days
i am a bird
i know no bounds
i fly high
above the heads
of those who wish me harm
above the doubt
and the worry
over fears of betrayal
and loss
and rejection
some days
i am invincible.
i can say
no
to those creeping thoughts
and to my own demons
...
but other days
i am a worm
crawling blind
beneath the gravel
of my distrust
shoveling self image
into my gaping mouth
swallowing only flaws
my forehead drags
beneath my belly
until i roll into a ball of rotten dreams
and words left behind
when i forgot how to speak
i am a puff of smoke
blowing past the ears of my lover
and my lover
he is a bird.
