turned self hatred to ego death
order out of chaotic mess
I have sinned, I must confess
from denying that I am blessed
for I’m a vessel for the power
big and bright, to which I cower
self-protecting, sad wallflower
procrastinate my finest hour
my heart expired, my talents latent
the Universe frowns at complacence
signalled for change in ways so blatant
uncovered what was truly fated
so “no more!”, I said aloud
in a tone uncanny and proud
gathered the few truths I found
stood for justice, stood my ground
wielded tools for reinvention
based on only good intention
so whilst my past begs for a mention
I’m better pressed to break convention
break myself and forge another
birth my own daughter and mother
court my own subconscious lover
love yourself, then love each other
because life’s too short to **** yourself
it’s got that sorted, watch your health
harness your power, know your wealth
you’ll gather dust sat on that shelf
