I Bleed Blue

I feel like I'm on fire

It's like there's a group of me in a choir

Finally...

I praise me

Here I am

Letting go of the dire

New name

Call me 'Sire'

You can't see me

You see a mirror

I see your conflict,

I see you bicker,

I see your light,

Your power,

Your flicker...

Take a look inside

My skin

Is my everyday attire

You unzip me

You see the higher

Sometimes...

I bleed blue

So watch out

for the unexpected hues...

I may bleed blue

But I speak the language of orange,

red,  lilac and magenta

Purple, green, black and yellow

My shadow

My light

They come together

I see that not everything is so black and white

I see colour

I am my own mother

I nurture myself

My feminine energy

Is in synergy

With the masculine energy

Every memory

Doesn't define me...

I make new space

To create new land

I change my mind

'Cause I grow and expand

I don't shed light

I bring the shadow

I remember dyeing...

my life

red, black and white

I've changed it to teal, peach and violet...

I go with the flow

I go with my flow

I can change the flow

I can take it slow...

I'm on my own journey

So I take look at the birds

The flowers, the trees

Feeling the sun, the heat and the breeze

They tease

my golden skin

I feel the fire

from within

Here I am

Again...

With my choir

As I drown into the ocean of colour

It feels like ecstasy

The black and the blue 

Has disappeared

As I transmute

The ashes

Into a ball of fire

I say 'no more',

to the black and white mentality

Because I am able to create my own reality,

I've stripped down others beliefs in me,

I've realised my own ability,

So,

I keep tapping in to my authenticity....

Everyday is an adventure

A discovery...

I am completely free

And therefore

I am completely me.
