I...We...She

 
I am a masterpiece
of misfiring wiring
half healed wounds
carefully tended to keep fester at bay
sometimes they need to remain open
for proper healing
from inside out
ventilating
because sealing to scar...
while infection brews within
can be fatal

I am a conundrum
of empathy & mistrust
guarded nature with an open heart
compassion
tempered by damage
both understanding
and afraid
experienced in hidden daggers
lodged in caring back
as open palms offer solace
...giving is done
despite expected pain

I am a hollow
filled with laughter
tears & grief
broken glass memories
shards embedded in emotional flesh
a chalice holding the essence
of life & death
every breath in between
absorbent
soaking in every lesson
an eternal evolution
...of higher self

I am goddess
I am woman
I am she
She is me
