Re-Birth



Does my honesty amaze you.

You crave it.

It is a foreign fruit to you.

The bizarre concept, that a human can open themselves.

Look into their blackness

And face it.



Why do I intimidate you

Is it because

I know what it means to be a prisoner

That by my own admission, submission to the truth

I have earned.

Peace of mind

Through clarity



I will give you no charity.

If you ask, I won’t reply.

Throw your letters of hate

And animosity

Into the fire where they belong.



You will never know why it is wrong .

To be false in the soul at the expense of another.

To take from a lover

Only to give nothing in return

You will rejoice in your short-lived

Self gratification

Until you realize -

It has no worth



You will turn to see where I’ve fallen

Only to find me, bright and pure

As new as I was at the time of my birth.
