"You refused to leave,
when the madness rose in me,
you never gave up."

You are not obligated to silently endure, to allow indignities. You are fierce with wild blood dancing in the streams of red that wrap their way beneath your skin. Stand firm and find the hiss at the back of your throat, fear not your strength when it turns to a roar. Do not allow anyone to convince you that you are less.

Text for Tired Eyes:
Tear me down, throw hate like confetti
and watch me dance beneath it.
Tear me down, reduce all this
to an insult, to a tired telling
of a tired joke that never bathed
in laughter. More than love
lives in the letters I let land,
I cannot show you the way
to finding it. Tear me down,
spread negativity like a seed,
and water it with your anger,
I will stop and smell them all
when they grow. Destruction
is a skill that never needed practicing,
it’s so much easier to destroy,
to push down than help up. Point
your fingers, stained in the same places,
and shout at the words I write.
I’ve never wished for deaf ears,
I want to hear the sounds of your bashing.
Tear me down, speak with bravado
behind the bulletproof glass of distance
and the blue glow of a computer screen,
It’s safe there, safe in the dark with the halo
of hate shining back on you, it’s safe there
far from this face, and this skin, and these
arms to stand before you. Tear me down,
and when you fall, I will be there, quiet,
waiting to help you back up.

Today is the day we should all wear green,
The day of shamrocks...
Today is the day we should all wear green,
The day of shamrocks and magic unseen.
A day of leprechauns, guarding their gold,
Of falling in love with the legends we were told.
Here’s to four leaf clovers, to making a wish,
Here’s to the day, we are all made Irish.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

The black on the grey and the yellow through the white. The soot hued silhouette of leaves reaching like Death’s fingers into the rebellious sun shining through the storm. The roll of thunder and the static charge of the air before. Spring is coming, all the life waiting to begin again; Spring is coming, and my life waits to bloom.
