They sought
I hide
Endeavor as I might
I can never win an already lost fight

They sought bloodied soil
An awkward, sullied soul

I broke myself too many times
Piecing each fragment

Nightmares still haunt me
Who I was
Who was I, again?

I started from love
I evolved into someone I hated

Those rotten words
Singsong voice
My brain rattled with them
down to my skeleton

Reborn again
in cold, chlorine drenched water
I am love, again
Loved again

    How deeply baptismal…

    Having lost my own sense of rebirth,
    I look to you, sis,
    from all my lost places.

        First hand experience for you. But you wrote it well enough for me to get a little glimpse 🙂
