INTO THE WILD.

Honoring the fullness of my woman today.( Well, yesterday- and every day! )

INTO THE WILD.

I am not a well-behaved woman

You will find me dancing along the edges of discomfort

Rebellion coursing through my veins

Truth dripping from my tongue

I was never made for coloring inside the lines

Or blindly acquiescing to the institution

The remembrance of the wild pulsates in my heart

I breathe in pleasure

And exhale life

The very portal through which all life begins

No wonder they diagnosed hysteria

in an effort to keep us tame

Oh yes, she is immense

And she resides in all of us

Let us bleed

We'll paint the sky crimson

And lead you all home
