To Please a Goddess

Sami, my best friend in the whole world, wanted me to start this blog. I have, and now I'm trying to get some decent content up. In rummaging through my computer, here is a poem I found. Enjoy.

Emergence into the light covered in blood

Burst from the folds of your skin, burst into being

Which one of us do these torn and ruined entrails belong to

They were my only safe home but they are your life and body

I am fed lies and I drink impurities till I am cured of my innocence

Till I am fat and weighed down with this which you call humanity

My mind feels like solitude as I scream and no one can hear

I crawl on all fours seeking only my vermilion sanctuary

Writhe on the floor, an animal with severed limbs and only one hope

I see my skin stained with the mark of this essence of being

Scarred with the promise of a vague mortality and pain

I stand and try to bring my home from my arms

I tear into my skin trying to fight my way out again

I see the welcoming blood again and believe I am alive
