The Fatherless Rose...

. . .

Space

Time 

I write because

…

Lack of time 

No space 

Mumbles in the dark

Threads which need untangling 

I write because

You’re overthinking  it now

You’re not thinking enough

I write because 

Voices are silent 

My voice is silent

And sometimes I want to scream and letters fall out

I write because stories make me orgasm

Are fun

Are wild

Can re-invent 

Shift

Nurture 

Healing 

Help me….

Heal

I write becasue

Its water

I write because

I can

I want to 

Sometimes I need to. 

I write because who else will say what happened

Has happened..will happen

I write because 

Fears feel better on paper 

I write because

Therapy - I guess?

- dkf 

The heart never lies

You’ve tried

Pulsing

You’ve tried

Wanting to know why

You’ve tried

What was the reason

To bury yourself deep within their expectations

You’ve tried to run

Your journey is one you can’t run from

Fight

Bite

Scratch

The blue lines underneath your skin scream heritage

They won’t allow you to be insignificant

The prayers which came before you

Do you know the blood which roared for your survival?

Something bigger

Undeniable Legacy

You can run

It won’t let you hide

No matter how hard you try

You're part of something way bigger

Word to Nala

This gift is one written before your time

Before ham

Before bondage, and any song the Israelites could shout

Your song was written in lightening

Yahweh’s own
