Disrupting My Own Narrative

un-stitching trauma for my highest good

I won’t stay straight-laced, I choose to disappoint!

While dressed to the nines I will demand that I anoint

myself as my commander and break regulation’s rules

I’m walking tall and balanced while still trying to find the tools

against binary ambiguity and setting myself free,

knowing now that my own fate only relies on me

Innocence was stolen from me in my youngest years,

but nothing comes to change if I am paralyzed by fear

And in the most surprising way, this heart won’t turn to stone --

a “godless pit of hell” awaits, but I am not alone
