I am too full of myself
but what else is there
for me to be full of
other than the person I am
the person Ive become
the will to keep surviving
an empty cage
cowering with shaking hands and my fingers in mine ears
childhood horror hide and go

don't be afraid to let your body die
to transform
into a new place to live
to grow
to make art
to be a home
to know peace
‎to live to love to grow old
