Do not let ghosts make you believe you must stay with them, where they live. Let them pass through you, the nothing that they are, and continue on your journey forward.
Screaming at phantoms
Yelling in a dream
Glistening fires
Underneath the snow
Let yourself melt
Become a new thing
Shed your Grief like feathers
Prepare for warmer weather
Why cover up?
Every part of you is natural
The naked skin beneath the molt
The hidden fear under your cloak
Stolen voices
Broken wings
Let it breathe
Let them see
Everything is a direct result of the thing that came before. Life is only possible after death. So life births death and death births life. You know this. But do you understand this? Knowing and understanding are two separate things. Knowledge does not always birth understanding.
Unsaid and dead
A girl so dark and dreary
Blood frozen in her veins
Cold, and no one knows why
Somehow she moves
Always breaking in the process
She understands Death
But does not know its name
Shattering blood, scattering bones
She understands heart-break
But never knew
She had been broken
This is why you are the way you are. Forced to understand what you did not yet know. Taught to ignore sensation and only believe the lie. A woman's body can betray her, though: she always speaks the truth, even when inconvenient, even when dangerous.
Everything you are was only made possible through everything you have been.
Allow them to misunderstand you.
