Intense ~ poem

Intense
Up and down, I choose
over stability and boredom
I break apart and I am rebuilt

Right now
Intense
Influences taken over
Fight, yell, hurt

Freedom
Street dancing barefoot
Picking sleeping flowers
Moon rises, I rise up

crash down on me

Shattered
Gorgeous sound
Art for my ears
but it turns quickly

Accusations
he doesn't know what he does
Speak hate, judgement, racism
more hurt

Fight
spit starts it
He Swings
Impacts your jaw

Stop.

Acknowledged.
you listened to me
you put down your fists
We left him
Unharmed

Calmness
Authority at the door
In my space
why am I not afraid

Gratitude
for being valued
remembering the sound
all is still now

Reflection
What goes up
comes down

I Choose
Intensity
over stability
