the self, in dreams

happy non-binary awareness week :) poem from 2018

By Mel SakuradaPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

one day

i will love the skin i’m in,

the flesh i feel.

i will say

yes, these parts belong to me and now will you love me?

take me for the brokenness i feel

the chaos that burned,

the entire beautiful cosmos

that has broken and rebuilt -

will you take my resilience & hold it like it’s the only of its kind?

hold hands, and embrace the

transcending.

watch, only in wonder,

as i continue pirouette around the sun

and celebrate self-dom.
