I haven’t written one of these in a while…wonder if I’ve lost the touch?
I never thought I’d ever run out of things to say
But the words are getting harder and harder to write
Maybe I’m just bored I needed a challenge I needed to conquer
But then again what’s life without the joy of poetic whimsy
Perhaps the point of everything was to find myself and now
That I’m found
And happy
And safe
I am scared to keep looking because I don’t want to evolve beyond again
I am sick and tired of being asked to continuously metamorphisize and
After all I have no desire to be captured and pinned as a trophy created by man
The strange divide between where I wanted to be and where I was has closed
But the words are getting harder and harder to write
Even when I think they should come easier but you see maybe it’s the fact that
It is easy and I have struggled all my life to be free and to speak and to be heard
And now that people are listening?
Now I don’t know
Now I wonder
Did I do the right thing? Did I use the right words? It was hard to describe
It is always so hard to describe feelings for me that are outside the spectra
I am expected to see and predictibly I don’t describe them and maybe
That is why it is getting harder and harder to write
I am experiencing things I was told I didn’t deserve
And I am free
And that is a feeling
That I may never find the right words to describe
And maybe the fact that it’s getting harder and harder for me to write
Means that I’m connecting with the parts of myself that don’t know how to feel
But I promise you I. do. feel.
I write out the words and I backspace and I try again and I write harder because it’s harder to write
And pray that instead of changing into a butterfly or some other ethereal, unreal creature
I happily snuggle into the cosy warm cucoon of freedom I’ve built and stay warm forever
