Exist As Me

When we begin to wonder who we are and what we're doing here...

 

Exist As Me

 

This chain wraps around my heart, pulls tightly –

hold me close to you on those days I cry

            against my wishes on days when I am

in need of security – so silent –

            unsure of where I stand, this place I’m in;

do you hear fear or hunger in my voice?

 

Balanced by hematite, I am quite poised,

offer up a vision of awareness

            avoiding the images in my mind

give the world a picture of perfection

            even as I feel myself disappear;

can you taste the desire in my kiss?

 

Hold me close – even if I step away,

understand my need to exist as me.
