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

i wish i were the thoughts in your head, just to see how we'll come out on paper...

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

especially for the lines above. Peace~

sometimes we pass over "bruised fruit" not knowing how really great it is to partake of...
thanks for reminding me in an ever so eloquent manner

This is beautiful. No flowery words to use to share how I feel and am affected by this piece. It deserves clarity and simplicity. So I say it again: THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. My personal favorites:

*I am taffy left in the sun
*I am evolution in progress

The mind goes in so many different directions, to so many different places from those 2 lines. Really amazing.

Thanks,

these are the type of gems that let me know what I'm feeling while I was unaware of feeling it
