Dove

                                   DOVE

I could never flap my wings

Without the glare of other's eyes

Conspicuous me then learned to love shame

I am the dove among the pigeons.

I could never fly with the flock

Without stalkers following me 

Static me then learned to love inertia

I am the dove among the pigeons.

I could never peck with my mates

Without feeling the greed of others

Hungry me  then learned to love deprival

I am the dove among  the pigeons.

I could never coochie coo with my lover 

Without the privacy sans others

Solo me then learned to love solitude

I am the dove among the pigeons.

I could never nestle in my abode

Without others entering it

Desperate me then learned to love fear

I am the dove among the pigeons.

I 'm the dove among the pigeons

The wounds inflicted on my mind 

Let be the asset of my soul

I have no soul,  I am the soul.
