She sees

P - R - Aise!

She told me

From somewhere deep inside

let

lessening

hearts reside

as they are

Be free

of exposition

the need to retrace

Start at the centre

forgive but not erase

I love the you inside me

outside words

or need to be

I am trying to help

I am trying to free

I am learning to help

I am learning to free

I am learning how it is

how to be more of me

without
rejecting
you

How can I accept you?

With all your indignity

Your clashes

contradictions

& user fees.

How I accept you:

An ode to freedom

I want not restrictions

to bide my choice

retain my barrier

and build up walls

I want not to be told

that what I believe

holds no weight

no reason

b/c there's no price, no freight

I ask to be accepted

allowed

trusted

to form myself in relation

to what is

& what may be.

This I shall then offer to you.

Ears for hearing.

eyes to see

words spoken in sincerity.
