sight

By girlafraid

purity repels the taint
balance
on this sacred ground
their light emanates
i'm comfortable in the shadow
been there all along
i know it like an altar
genuflected respect

choice and chosen
the calling
elation of soul
is exhaustion of mind
but i wholeheartedly had no misconceptions

i am a mere girl
who struggles with two energies

doctor who can cure the boy
(all hope lies with him and none with me)
the acid queen
(pay before we start)

i try so hard

and daily the cherub christs humble me
the difference i make
is not amplification
of brightest light
but the fact
that i can see it
at all
