After the storm

And  when the long awaited 
Moment  of confession comes
It brings  with it
Not the long awaited
Release
The walking  into the sea
With open arms

But another  gathering 
Another  tying  up of knots
As if
So much intimacy 
So much  openness
Is unbearable 

(Mostly  just unaccustomed,
And thus less than comfortable,
But for a moment,
overwhelmingly  unbearable )

Creation of media

In absolute  negation  of
The self that
Would rather die than express

A going  out of way
To prove 
The absence  of repress

BAM !!

a woman can grow up
never knowing
that a man can negotiate
that there is space for
conversation, bargain
equal hearing

it is enough for the man
to say what he says
and then shut the door

so ill prepared is a woman
for the gentle  man
Who asks her what she wants
And actually  tries to give her that

We will be happy

When they  played with us
They never  thought 
That  what  they  were doing 
Would  hurt  us forever 
Would  colour  our every action 
Every  thought 
Would  change  the  way
We  look  at the  world 
That  we would 
Be unable  to trust  anyone 
Always  be scared 
Of  being  found  out

And yet
We survived  it
And we continue  to grow 
And  we WILL be happy 
Because  we are stronger  than  them

While  they  waste away
