The Mind is called whole

Unbeknownst to the eyes of her inhibitor

Her breath reeks of the poison we seep into her skin

Our thick blood flows into the pools of her eyes

Exterminating the golden jewels of life below

We cut her hair like colonizers telling her vast forests to change

To adapt to what we want when it was hers first

The anger we spit back at her

Yelling at her like a disobedient pet

When in reality it was, she who feeds us from her stomach when we were hungry

It was she that sheltered us when we felt cold and abandoned

It was she who loved us when we felt lonely and without purpose

It was she who filled us with hope when we felt hopeless

It was she who cared

I ask you how can something be whole when it is so broken

How can someone hurt so badly but continue to fly

How can someone struggle so much but continue to live

The same way we do every day

We continue to live when we feel broken

We continue to try even when it feels hopeless

We carry on

End the hatred you project 

End the murder of your spirit 

End the elimination of hope

And start the

Possibility for love

Chance for desire

Likelihood of self-acceptance
