Relief is so sweet
Like honey on my lips.
Sugar in between my teeth
Creating craters that will hurt me in time.
But, it’s all alright.
And I’ve found a loss of anxiety
Every time I press a key.
Ivory, electronically,
And it no longer kills me when humanity cradles me
When I find myself in times of trouble.
Mother Mary, let it be.
And I am a bird now.
Flying high over everyone and everything
Before my heart breaks and I come tumbling down.
Caught by the waiting arms of one who will watch over me,
and see my life for how it is and how I could be.

Forgive me,
I am overcome.
