The struggle

Struggle

Something pushes me down; the warm earth spits venom on me

A noose tightens around my neck,  evil flashes its eyes

A deep gnash starts from my feet

My body cracks all over,

I fall apart

Like a song, each fissure forming a musical note;

I drink from the muddy puddle of the unspoken

And learn to let the pain pass through,

Death bells ring all over, announcing the forbidden union

The conquered becomes the bride;

Black Blood tangles my hair into million knots

Crowning me for the awaiting eons,

The hatred is palpable

Evoking a murderous rage

A long forgotten belief breaks the crown

And I shout

I CAN CHOOSE;

My sound waves dig the sun, burrowing the mountains

It rises and draws close

The lie is strong but truth is stronger,

The golden  blaze burns the noose;

Something pulls me up and I let go

A cool breeze brushes past and untangles my hair,

Fragrant oil heals my wounds;

The dirt and darkness are scraped off,

I rise higher and higher

My feet wading through the rainbows

I emerge like a tree from a dirty seed

With a dance, each step getting me closer to the light.
