Layers

There is something so liberating about

following your own heart

being brave to listen to that feeling in your

body that says something is right or wrong

To that voice that tells him to piss off

and sometimes it’s so strong

screams so loud

and pushes back so hard

that the only words I get out

that does the feeling justice

Is f&£@ o@&

yes it stems from anger

from rage

from what was once grief

that was once soft and vulnerable

and it could be that again

if I slowly peel it off

layer by layer

I start with the rage

and then the anger

I end it with tears

until I feel my heart and can be soft again
