I am boneless
Quivering with false apprehension
Of  lambent flames of happiness
Ranting in spaces that were
Carefully arrayed for shattered viewing

I am spirit
Receptive yet un-responsive
Twisting my golden locks
Accordingly to broken tunes
And feeble lyrics

I am divinity
The horizon in disguise
Radiating flaws beyond reason
Sifting through situations
And counting my luck askew

I am beauty
An ethereal creature
Deformed by life
Scars and stretch marks
With sensibilities divine

I am strength
Trying to survive
In the midst of thieves
Taken in by portraits
With words uttered brief

I am Broken
With a heart that beats
Not too softly
And not enough for heat
But enough for him

And that’s enough for me
