I am a game piece
Waiting for God to move me
But I want to do what I want
And be who I want to be

I’m into healing,
and into believing
No longer into those
I’m healing from

Trust me,
I don’t want to want them dead
But I do want their voices
Out of my head

I’ll do what I can
To practice the good
And combat the bad
That’s a promise

If I were to do
what is meant to be acted upon
Oh, you’d love to see that,
Wouldn’t you?
But I don’t do what is expected of me
And I do not care what you think
Of women like me

They said I’d feel a sense of purpose
If I were to do
What is meant to be acted upon
That we’d have taken a step toward freedom

But I must free myself first

If I were to do my part correctly,
Everyone would, naturally
Decide to make amends
Instead of lashing out
unintentionally

Oh now I see
How this...

zoomed in too close to see
the bigger picture
too hot, too cold
too far into the future

too good, too bad
living out the past tense
sink into the quicksand
that is my own subconscious

i’ve been soaking it all in
every detail recorded
every pore water boarded
all over again
