some stuff you don't understand cause you're not

inside of my body, and you cannot feel this fully,

the walls that cage me within this shell, a shield

and everyone sees first my casing before knowing

what or who I am, and I'm already judged by then,

labelled: white woman tall blonde messed up teeth

in here I find a home and a prison, my eyes the

windows to a tattered house that I systematically

abuse and caress in intervals with the pulsing tide

the urge to make you understand overwhelms all

and inside is a woman screaming....bring you here

where the barriers become irrelevant and unreal

criminal circumstance perverts the purity struggling

with the essence of you as I force myself to see

beyond your carefully designed projection of light

concealed within this dying creature surrounding me

is the immortal breathing, beating, crying truth

that innocently hopes to God you will have mercy
