Roots stained red with Ancestry

Stability slipping

Through my Capillaries

Founded in Fear

Lacking for Love

My DNA holds these codes

Passed down from Parents

Who tried not to Suppress

Suppress

Suppress

My creativity

Nonetheless, did their Best.

So then I had Sex

And it didn’t mean anything

Or so I told myself.

A teenage girl’s Tangerine Dream

Sensuality

Forever stolen, no longer

Sacred

I began to play with

The thought

People will Love me if I

Give

Them what they want

All my energy

In exchange

Validation

Snuffed out Sunshine

Who am I at my

Center?

Can you even see my

Light?

Now we’re getting to the

Heart

Of things...Or at least

We can try

It’s guarded like the Emerald City

Where my Soul lies

And let’s show her some

Compassion

Inner-child you’re

Deserving

Remember this when

Depression

Swallows your mind

Come home, Love

Let yourself Shine

Unthaw your vocal chords

Blue from years without use

Speak

Shout or even

Scream

Maybe someone might

See

Your Higher Vision

Is more than an

Indigo Child’s Daydream

At last Connection

To All Beings

Encapsulated in Violet

Source Energy

Wisdom held in each

Colorful Spiral

Always Within

Be true to yourself and

Let Love In.
