I WILL PROTECT...

I will protect you from me

and all the anger I could be

come with me so I can

I will protect who i am

my heart

full of splinters

from what you have already done to me

when i was not looking



I will protect

who i want to be

the free little girl

dancing in the wind

by the trees where you thought you'd rape my thoughts from me

in a corner i sat recuperating my wounds

cascade of leaves

cacoon

to become this butterfly with stingers you now see

my colors muted by obscurity

but don't be fooled by me

i am a viper

my fangs are free

bleeding you profusely

but

i will protect my solidarity

my ability

to be

honest

a damn hard ass process

created by adversity



I will protect my seed

increase my visibility

I observe you coming

I am their breeze

the wings in them i have created

I will see them free

I will protect the he's

and the she

born form me

my destiny to be the alchemist



I will protect my sensitive dreams

your infection will not reach me

my shield is my reality

I will protect my voice

as it reaches, breaks down barriers

swishes in my mouth like water

spills on your soul like flowers

I will protect who i want to be

i am half way there

walk with me

engage in this complexity

of what it is to be me



I will protect my honesty

and serve it to you like rice and beans

everyone needs a hearty meal of me

once in a while

when they believe

they superseded

unheeded

the advice of where you raised up

your head full of lead

ill conceived achievements

be human

and i will protect you

as if you were me

through me

because you were made

from blood and bone

and to dust you will return

this ain't nothing but a chicken bone on gods plate

he ate the meat

you're going to the dog

didn't you know



I won't protect you from my words

this is my song

the pen is where i belong

but if you want

I will bring you along

be strong

because I will not

protect you from truth
