black pearl

black pearl
with a core of blue
return to me
and release what you’ve been through…

… sadness and shame
anger and blame
this is my life
a feeding of the flame

inner child’s plea

the body keeps the score
but the mind holds the key
if emotions are messages
why the fuck do you ignore me?

shine light on your shadow
and search your body for truth
why do you keep pretending
the blind can guide the youth?

the mirror is a liar
only one question left to ask
take a breath son
who doth lie behind the mask?
