i eat the bruised fruit
because i know that sometimes
i am delicious beyond my scars

i am silent when angry
because i know that sometimes
i am capable of too much

i am fierce in my love
because i know that sometimes
softness is not nearly enough

i am frightened of myself
because i know that sometimes
i am unaware of the pull of my pain

i am like taffy left in the sun
because i know that sometimes
my vulnerability is my only asset

i am weakened by a touch
because i know that sometimes
passion's fire absolves my impurities

i am capable of UN-learning
because i know that sometimes
there is no truth to what i know

i am evolution in progress
because i know that sometimes
i dream of the me that held
fire in her hands
and walked upon the seas

i see all of my future selves
in the doubt in your eyes

i am more than the space between us
