Trapped Red Feathers
Happy together
Because
Boy’s dreamer by night
But always is different
And as lips intertwine
Inside my mind
I find the mirror’s reflection tonight
Do see me with he
As I saw the watered lotus flower
In a garden of thorns and weeds
Love us
Or pretend
For whispers
My friend
As the weeds do whisper
And thy thorns do impale the tender flesh
And burn like hellfire
Until life is no longer dire
And your soul screams “I can’t take this”
Wonder and imagine
The bird
As it has to fly
See me as the bird
And ask little
I am not a girl
Nor boy
Nor do I embody
A man or a woman
I know not of what or who I am
But imagine me as the bird
I must either find who I am and survive
Or be flightless, trapped, and die

This is my first post on this website. Hope you enjoy it. The inspiration for this poem derived from toxic relationship experiences that I have endured in my life, and the effects of other's opinions on the soul and mind..
