God made the platelets that coagulate

To get grown I couldn’t wait

To have my say 

To find my way

To not be berated on any given day

Iyanla said I needed to heal

Try explaining to the young what’s real

They only know magic… I only knew tragic…

And the path that beckon 

 

What is real

The old do not know

So some steal from their young 

Then bind their tongue 

and call it loyalty

Or religious royalty

And we all suffer in silence

Except when the violence gets loud

And the power makes them proud 

And memories curdle 

But no tears over spilt milk and wasted youth

A thousand little cuts— Death would be just

But remembrance lives on 

In defiance I am reborn 

Because my body can heal itself

But the mind— takes time

 

And if health is wealth 

How do I feed that greed 

Soothe that need 

When I was taught to hate myself

To be generous with the gold in my heart

And to never thwart the thief

Burden lay down I need the relief

Sea and Savasana be still I needed the peace

Hurt had a hold I needed—release 

 

Who am I and what is love

AA or higher power above

Say my name

Been drunk off the pain 

too long…

Because the mind— takes time

 

Dare I love myself

Dare I count my wealth

And collect my blessings

From the lessons

Adorn myself and preen with self-esteem

Darwinism and Human Beings—

And God made the platelets

A profound in-depth rendering, provoking awareness reflections. A great write, SirenLyricMuse. As another Old Poet would have it and my Old self too: Dare you go look into the mirror and see another one of God's beautiful creatures with identical "platelets" looking back at you! Write on my young poet; write on. ONE. Peace and Love.
