poetry

conceptional beast

From my first moment
Nestled in my mother's womb
I have been blessed
To walk this earth
With the burdens
Of a beast

I am tormented
To carry the weight on my back
Of pains that were not my own

As I am a lover
Built of broken glass

I will cut you open
To find your woe
Then stitch you shut
Once I can reflect it forever
Within myself

I will kill every glittering starlight
That rests in my soul
To make your city lights shine brighter

I was birthed with a heavy heart
And I will die with one
To some that is a curse
But I see it as a blessing
For in a world like the one we live in now
I see few too people with hearts at all
Let alone those with hearts like mine

If leaving it open
To mercy
Empathy
Grace
Is what kills me
Then damn it all let me die
For I could not live without
Feeling
