random and beautiful

i wonder what it's like
to swing both ways
to love with no cages
to slide thru the bars
without care who you harm

i wonder what it's like
to glide thru the cracks
to go unnoticed when you burn
when you learn not to run
from what hurts and what chases

i wonder what it's like
to live without lovers
to starve without cravers
to hide behind images
you created for others

i wonder what it's like
to be graceless and useless
to be whipped and be beaten
as those people you put up there
to protect you and to love you
fall off their imposing pedestals

the fall might break you
but what if it makes you
who you should've already been

random and beautiful and broken
...and filled to the brim

Stumble It!
