light cannot be restrained

 
watch how she moves
so graceful...
despite the pain  
& it's a constant
always trying to force her into submission
yet she maintains her composure
knocking at each door
making sure voices are heard
then uncapping her own bottle
pouring ink in equal measure
her playful nature...
...& her agony
into concoctions & lyrical cocktails  
alternating honesty with entertaining  
wholly relatable  
as we laugh at her word play
& lose coherent speech
when she bares herself  
despite fear & awkward self-image
cringing inside  
...but determined  
because she's fully aware
when she speaks...
so many of us feel seen
she's a radiant being
& light cannot be contained
it always finds accessible fractures
creating a living beacon
making her glow visible  
...to everyone around her
whatever you do...
don't take her for granted...
Duende is so much more
...than she appears
