Nomad: My Autobiography
I followed the whistle
down the railroad tracks
and out of  town.
Every place I live
is a station with a ticket window,
an airport where I pick up
a boarding pass.
Come with me if  you will
or I’ll travel alone.

Freedom
self  love freed me
it was love for you
that chained me to the wall
in the beginning of  it all
you had me in a chokehold
holding me,
whispering confessions of  love
as your hand confessed with a shove
that I was nothing;
just a white face
natural pinks and reds put out of  place
by your colorblind chokehold
which held me so strongly
it left a mold
of  my limp body on the grey wall
I think my pinks and reds got lost in the grey
the same way I got lost in you
but self  love freed me
let me be
just be
unchained and released me
no embracing or chokeholds
not even for you
there wasn’t a thing you could do
because now my hands have the strength to
reach my neck
and release you
pursue new reds and pinks
and even blues for my veins too
self  love won’t fight you
it won’t negotiate
just leave you
you can follow it and join us
or you can continue to strangle grey air,
you choose
