Yes, I use violent imagery
Correction: I love using violent imagery
Does that annoy you?
Somehow set you off?
Is it because you wish
That I was a bit more 'normal'
A bit less pronounced, obvious
About who I am?
Are you annoyed because
You wish I'd feel embarrased
Of this part of myself?
Does it **** you off
To see me proudly display
My inner self-
all of it-
Without any of your foolish
Censoring?
Is it perhaps because
I am attempting to accept myself
Whatever I might be, its entirety?
Does it anger you
Because you
You bowed your head
And conformed when
Someone else came
And censored you?
But I
I refuse to do the same
For this is me
And I am not going to
Pick apart and,
Cut out
The bits of me you don't like
The shards
That form the complete picture
I refuse to allow
You to touch them
For this is ME
ME
*Not you
Not your domain*
NOT under your control

This basically explains why I've been away
