Perhaps
it's the night sweats
the upset stomach
fractured sleeping pattern
deep belly cries
or the string of pain from uterus to heart
that paralyzes me
perhaps
they are life's roars
tired of whispering
so they
scream for attention
intention
Ravey please
Please, listen
to us
to me
to we
to the freedom of discipline
it's yours to claim
to sink your talons into to
and declare
a proclamation
that
THIS IS LOVE
this is how I love
this is my decision
a choice I'm blessed to make
to embrace
through discipline is wealth
is ability
is desire
is honor
perhaps
I've known it all along
and so I ran
opposite direction
towards what I've always known
what I can understand
and find comfortability in
perhaps
my body is screaming
that it is time
the hypersensitivity
rooted in connectivity
to this world
my world
perhaps
through true love
a clear lens of
genuine self
my current life will abundantly transform
and perhaps
we've always known it was coming
