PRISM PRISON
I am the red of my rage
With it, I fight this cage
And I am the yellow of my fear
Through it, my path is clear
I am the orange of my greed
Your demands denied, I refuse to bleed
And I am the green of my envy
Strength I have found in these souls heavy
I am the blue of my sorrow
In spite of it, I face the morrow
I am the indigo of my mystery
I have learnt to contain the misery in history
I am the violet of my hate
This abomination stands in defiance of hate
Even as I watch my mind disintegrate
I find peace in what it could once create
I cannot see the bars in this prison
But I can feel the light split in the prism
And that is okay
It keeps the darkness at bay
The freedom I crave
It has made me brave
Not because that which did not kill me made me stronger
No, ‘tis the knowledge it will try again later

For what good is humanity If time and time again, it fails To achieve its one primal aim Which is to accept, love And protect those under its wings Regardless
FEAR
You’re like a tongue of flame on a candle I’m like my little niece Fascinated by your luminance Wanting to be a part of it Staring with big bright eyes
For God.
Dear God, I want to kneel before you In humble supplication My mouth, open, a shallow well, a bruised orifice My back bent, forward or backward My eyes closed tight
