Balance embrace me,
please wrap your light
around my raven existence.
I quickly surrender
my many secrets into the fire,
as I desperately try to run and hide
from my very unstable past.
I know these patterns so well by now,
as I observantly sit and listen to them talk -
acting like they care.
Do they wonder who I am
beneath the surface of insecurity?
I give them nothing but trust
and permission to explore
the uncharted grounds of my heart,
hoping they would assemble
my cloven heart with sleek thread.
But all they ever do
is add darkness to my black heart.
Well, not any more!
For this girl has now protected
her elusive heart like buried gold!
