A Persecutor's role is to harm us It is a goal ours is good for As if we get happy They shall then strike With a shot that normally makes friends leave We don't want to lose anyone else For we love them so But this is where things normally go wrong For lance had a shot today Without any good reason He took his opportunity and made his mark We don't want him to cost us One of the biggest dreams that we have Causing those we care for to not view us To not see us as worthy We want to give those special the happiness they award to us Yet the Persecutor wants us alone Hurting in deep pains Feeling the issues of our past We are just wanting progress To move beyond the pain We found a way to be happy Amazing people who like us more then we deserve Yet lance cant handle that We need to stop letting his fears win To not allow fear to control us Never will we allow you to hurt who we love Not now Not ever again You will have to go through the rest of us!

The Persecutor
Why do you worried that life will come to an end? Such righteous scores you’ve tallied, trying your best to win. God is but a plunk in our quantum field. Before we’re born we seal the deal. You might not recall but some of us can. We’re born and we die and we always live again.

lost/time
Once One Oblivious to the pain of the world And of herself The split Began When she could not handle Her reality One Became Three But they were not done These troubled souls Mourned Together Held each other up But it was not enough They were Helpless Doomed to watch their cruel fate unfold So three grew into five Five Different The same Whole Divided They thought they were done Five is plenty But 6 7? Must be Better Safety in numbers A motley family Concealed inside a single Body Pain And safety Dissociation And protection We are a far cry from that little girl

Origins
Is it finally over? Living in fear Of those I am supposed to trust Breaking free of the cage The latest prophesy reoccurring I wondered what it meant Could it just be a change in mindset? Is it finally over? Hiding who I truly am Who WE truly are Masking Pretending To be whole, to be one Is it finally over? Fearing we will have to hide forever Wondering if anyone will ever believe us Wondering if anyone will ever care Was it a misunderstanding all along? Were we isolating ourselves without reason Believing it will be not different than the other times Are they finally ready to listen? Hope is a cruel thing Please don’t hurt us again

The problem with sharing a body Is how hard it is to tell who you are

Identity(ies?)
it neither killed me, nor made me stronger, it did a third thing ~ got angels and devils sitting on my shoulders, in my ears these different parts of me— you’ve seen them through the years i live in fragments i'm never whole it's not the life i thought i'd lead at least it's never ******* dull i lost my head found these instead and never felt quite like 'me' again even when i’m alone i’m never lonely ~ i hear the voices from the inside out oh stop; i recognize that look you're giving me: "why keep it hidden from us until now?" i don't recall much from after ten years old let’s call that 'brain rot' lost memories of repeat awful happenings that i still don't know if i deserved or not (you didn’t)(x2) the only one who ever truly knows what's going on is you

there’s somethin funny going on up in this house check the front, now the windows, see? the lights are out no one’s home, just us voices, extra extroverted noises just the other people in your head making you regret your choices it’s just us bonus mouths to feed and sometimes hands to hold we hope you hear us when we say this covert thing is getting kinda old

inside voices
I'm a stranger in my own head, A sojourner embodied. As I lie here on my old bed, Impressions flashing oddly. I'm a stranger to my own needs, my old provisions moldy. I'm lost, can hardly proceed, But must continue boldly.

Stranger
many souls live within my head. young, old. those who are living, & even those who are dead. the options differ, change, & clash. words throw between them can be brash. but these souls work together to make up this whole, as the body before you is many a soul.

i’ve gotta rewire some things inside me not in the right headspace to take life on right now without a little extra help from those around and before and inside me i’ve gotta release some demons, exorcise me keeping them bottled up for so long, they’ve got other people’s hands all over me, shaking things up a prisoner to my own hidden feelings , i’m ready to burst want to get it out, once and for all not be trapped inside any longer
 a bunch of secrets bouncing around my bones like stubborn trespasser(s) i mold meld melt molt i find myself lost in us again wrapping your& words around me like a hug falling in love with this cosmic entanglement watched us bloom in times of turmoil and i'm just so happy to be home, finally

trespasser(s)
head filled with thoughts of knives and blood and tears and the finality of the silence that comes After. short car rides feel that much longer one-handed and with your mind taking detours. an empty passenger's seat, save for the bag of fresh pharmacy goods; bandages and pills and the sting of the chill winter air. the suffocating feeling of being stuck inside all day, except this home is a body and relief is only found in quick, deep successions. basement flooding with memories of Then and When and Red and we find ourselves to be lost in it all. drowning even. wade through the murk and discover us in the darkest alcoves of yourself. we hide in the shadows where it's safest, drenched. it's hard to stay present around these parts for very long without something (or someone) stirring inside begging us to forget the rest.

flesh wound
The unknown in me written July 22nd, 2021 I collect words and try to fit them to my experiences trying to capture this moment right now— it is all I have. I—looks at the page and writes a moment while others peer over her shoulder shaking their heads curling up to sleep from the overwhelm reaching out to change a word or phrase we are all here sometimes all at once other times one at a time I always think I know who writes these words this   word   right   now Until I look back and don't recognize words just written I guess we are used to it the wonder and startlement of the unknown in me.

The unknown in me
God came in three - they set aside time and space  for collaborative creativity God came in three and in that 'us', 'our' and 'we' metaphored an identity of mutuality  God came in three advocating once and for all a celebration of plurality God came in three illustrating that all families are a godly thingamy God came in three inviting you and you and me to join them together for eternity

Three
Happiness was always plural in my mind, there had to be a he, a she or they, but as time passed, I grew to learn that happiness is a singular ' I '.
