To See and To Be Seen

Spoken Word

By Aly HunterPublished 6 years ago β€’ 1 min read

anesthetized in place

locked in a consciousness

I cant identify

and I'm trapped-

trapped in a web

of your minds desires

it's dark and its grey

my skin breaks upon embrace

messengers you send to me

constrain my mind

I know it's you.

show me a sign

that I cannot deny

when I call for you

into the night

I undertake this truth

this world no longer holds you

reconciliation is my mask

I didn't ask for this-

nobody asks for this

unraveling pieces of me

to ascend

is to breach

freedom

to see and to be seen.
