stronger_than
unhinged i shut my heart off when i was young
the pain of having it constantly ripped from me
by people that didn't even seem to want it
was

too much


for years
i was
dark
twisted
depressed as shit
because i was denying myself
a sensitive person
in a hard_and_bitter sea
so i buried myself
and i was
dark
twisted
depressed as shit

(i spent six years achingly_alone
tongue_twisted
mostly silent
so that everyone
including myself
could deny it

i have a big heart
that leaps out of itself)


i became so angry
when people told me
i needed to get a thicker skin
toughen up
transparent and thin
why resist natural impulses?
that's the way my electricity flows
when forced into a conduit
that can't contain it
fire like that is known
to burn houses down


the i learned how to keep a little
for myself
joy in the small things
on_contentment
but there is still a big hole in my heart
where you used to be

the pain of
reaching and grasping
and never quite finding what
you need


i will not shut down this time
i am stronger than
drifting away into daydreams
nightmares
fantasies

the reality is
i have a big heart
that is always leaping out of me
against all my efforts to contain it

i am stronger than
the dark
the greed
the pain




i'll keep my light on
