A reply to a letter she’d received

Dear Jay,

My eyes bleed with sorrow, my heart cries with pain.
I love what I see but it hurts when it’s in vain.
My brain is instilled with disgust & cruelty.
But my soul is bound to royalty.
Hearing my heart beat ever so violently,
Makes it hard for me to have peace & silence.
My reflection looks of beauty & grace.
Internally, I feel like giving up & having no faith.
Stuck in a world of hate & confusion,
Drives me to my point...conclusion.
My ears screech from sounds of those lying.
My soul weeps for the ones who are dying.
My body is exhausted.
My mind is delirious.
My voice is tired.

P.S. ----I listen to the sound of the birds, free & fearless. Wondering what it’s like to be able to spread your wings & fly. To be at peace with yourself. To be a whole instead of a half. Just to be.

Love,
Tay.
