to leave my bullshit at the door
and to love you without repetition of my past
I can't do anything else but laugh
at my nerve
knowing it could not have been done any other way
My pride transformed in a raging whisper
I am not ashamed to reveal my affection
Echos of yesterday are merely a reflection
of who I will never be again...
I am proud to love you
I do love you
and more than tears
I have shed years
of conditioning that I do not regret
I stand here now with reason
I made the decision to feel
outside of my mind
embracing the anchors of strength aligned down my spine
holding me in the right place...
finally

"embracing the anchors of strength aligned down my spine." wow. one of the most beautiful lines i've ever read. love the relocation of the word "audacity" and how i feel disconnected throughout this piece only to "finally" come to a place of understanding at the end. how amazing that interpretation can align so closely with the words themselves. that, to me, is the sign of a truly talented writer. wow, exceptional Yoli!
