Lessons for Mutants

Wanna hear what’s in my head?

Holy spirits hovering over my bed

Colors blurring into pure white

Warm hands return me to the light

Made the journey safe and sound

Bury my yearning in the ground

I am learning

He just called to say he still don’t know

Try the new way, love him and let him go

The sweetness of surrender is real love

I must remember

Saw behind the rage to your pain

At a tender age, burgundy as a bloodstain

And I forgive you your circumstance

Lord knows it’s not my life to live anymore

And I cannot afford

To take the chance, I’d go overboard

Now free of yesterday

All my stories flicker, and fade away into dust

Revealing not who I thought I was

Layers peeling, ancient feeling

Born from our mothers’ bloodlust

Rebuilding trust, ask me anything

Or tell me if you must

You who thought you knew me back when

Watch the fire burn through me, I’m born again

And should you ever be fully realized

Come find me, join in the revelries of butterflies
