wakened
I was by my heart and head burning realizing a fact that heated me more than most i have lived as I was not i have chosen as i would not have chose where to put the blame do you wonder where to put if there is fair and square should I wear this gaudy trinket as a fancy wear it boldly tie it into me like a bold but gaudy ribbon overwhelming my raven hair pretend to be but not to be it pretend to feel but not to know the true feeling that would relish living underneath it acting as if i'm the way of my world the transforming lies of me they told i let them make of me a blunder i let them shape me pour me into a useless mold i no longer let them make this blunder I will no longer do and act as they believe as they've blended me to their expectations to their beliefs yes I've grown wicked I am bold underneath my shiny new skin underneath I'll now slither out become the snake they shunned and reviled now become the power and their bitter own self-doubt that thing they tried to seed within me that thing they pointed at me to fore-swear the accusation the force to live it the cross my burden the derision and the judgment meted out unjustly in their mean and constant stares I reject it I reject them I adventure out from my eternal want and winter I breathe the Spring I emerge triumphant and defiant I defy even the bracing gift of my greatest comfort the fresh and oh the enticement of my new and constant embracing lover of a new emboldening sweetness call it my Spring in my late Autumn I'll call it that the Crone has risen from her forced slumber shed her dead skin risen from the underground and climbed up her air.
