i am in struggle.


without guns
without face-hugging bandanas.

i'm struggling to find my voice.
to define myself.
and love what i find, fiercely.

to clear my mind
keep my house clean.

this struggle will not define a people
or unite a nation.

it's just me trying to grow into myself.

a struggle to wean myself from apathy
and reject womb-damaging things
like stagnation
and broken hearts.

allowing time to indulge my fascination with the saints.

a fight to pray like i should
cuss less
take my time
be easy on myself.

i aspire to define my addictions.
to court sensation, passion, fullness and adoration.
to flirt with lust.

a blissful battle.

but when the struggle is over, that win is the greatest...
