The Forbidden Revolution

For the past hours I’ve been trying to hold my pen and write

About how all of this makes me feel

But thoughts and feelings froze throughout the night

Though in my head it’s all so very clear

Inside my chest, two lungs striving to breathe

Drowning in a bottomless pool of lust

A thrusting heart fighting to be free

Beneath piles of bizarre taboos that form a crust

And here I am yet again

Writing a poem while words refuse to run

Unable to say or explain

All that’s so obvious and left me with a stun

Who are they to make such rules?

And how come they were entitled for this role?

To ask me to just forget is cruel

Do they really believe in crushing feelings to control?

Hush please, I tell my soul

Tomorrow might be a better day

Rainbows and candy should replace the coal

And to the love beat we’ll dance and sway

For now ill drown, choke, and behold

Bare and lonely in this savage, dark sphere

Wounds and wrinkles make me look old

But I promise I will never shed a tear

As one day you’ll realize and lend me a hand

I’ll sigh and smile then kiss away all the strain  

At a moment where all of this turn into a mystic land

With a portion of love found in the soil, beings, and rain

Let’s break the chains and rusty rods

Inhale the freedom and start to thrive

It must work out by all the odds

Come with me! Pursue the drive
