Being Her Own Diety

This is a piece about becoming self-reliant, and being my own person, and putting faith in myself.

Glittering gold tears

Filled to the brim with wine,

And dancing

Oh, the dancing!

 

It makes the change

And turns the pains

From this hear-stabbing wretch

To just a heart-throbbing itch.

 

Sparkling silver tears

Emptied the whole bottle

And hating

Oh, the hating!

 

Of yourself

The world

Your closet friend

And closer still,

Your own soul and spirit,

Can’t live together in one Head.

 

So make the change

And stake the pains

On a billboard as a reminder

Of who you were, are, and will become.

 

Blow the dandelion seeds

Make the wishes at 11:11

All those silly little tricks

That children play

As they hope and pray

That those few words they breathed to the Sun

Will be heard by someone

And made true

 

Make it a ritual

To be done and begotten

Forgotten somewhere down the road.

 

The ruby rose

Crawls out of its hole

Peaks its head above the soil

And tastes the rays of light

Now having faith, in no one

But Herself.

This feels like I journey I went on a few years back - it's so nice to get out of the dark and step into the light - good luck with your journey :)
