Before I knew now what I knew never.
Before I learnt love could be fed safely
I have had to lick it off the edge of a knife,
and fed off the broken bottles,
chattered in the kitchen,
after a retrieving staggering steps of a man
a stranger once my father.
Before I knew love could be simple,
I had worked my sweat to earn empathy
from the stranger, whose tired eyes never saw good in me but the flaws I carry in my name, a stranger once my mother.
Before I knew love had no shame and love was peculiar
love was sharing
I hid my troubles to myself, and stomach my grief and emotions.
I had kept to myself more than I could contain in my heart.
I was ashamed that I felt sad at all…. I should be grateful the things I have.
Before I knew vain and suffering at all
I endured every poison inject in my marrows
I engrave every venom transported through my arteries
I feared safety so much I endangered my self
I collect scars like trophies
I embrace trauma like family
Before I found my self, I was lost.
