Who really am I?
What makes
my blood flow
desires burn
passion spill
into the streets I walk?
*
One day
my courage opened
a forbidden door
the flame inside me
blazed
allowed at last
to burn
in ways it always yearned
fear ran away with the wind
confidence held my hand
and the real me
lived her life
and inked her pages
with the breaths
of her heart and soul
never regretting
one minute of it
