Need
Society has tamed you
once wild and unapologetic
Your hunger was insatiable
no one dared cross your path
I need for the fire to rise in your blood
to remember how it felt to be seen and heard
I need the raven and not a dove trained to fly at reasonable altitudes
When will you need to override the conditioning?
Will you stay broken by life?
I see you lurking underneath your skin
break free and meet me
One step forward
palm up
waiting
once wild and unapologetic
Your hunger was insatiable
no one dared cross your path
I need for the fire to rise in your blood
to remember how it felt to be seen and heard
I need the raven and not a dove trained to fly at reasonable altitudes
When will you need to override the conditioning?
Will you stay broken by life?
I see you lurking underneath your skin
break free and meet me
One step forward
palm up
waiting

“I see you lurking underneath your skin…” best line of the poem and a line I wish I came up with! Haha.
