INVINCIBLE

Oh body, thank you for making my heart rest here

It is forever breaking, writhing from one disappointment to another

Healing from harsh words and painful memories

Scars one over the other, Scabbed from broken expectations

Here in you, my heart heals

My heart grows and pumps harder

Builds muscles

And one day soon… My heart will be invincible

Oh body, Thank you for making my mind rest here

It moves so fast, thinks too much

That each circuit explodes and leaves blank spaces

Blank spaces that trigger blank stares

My mind scares me… It tells me what I can and cannot do

It is controlling, domineering, manipulative and paranoid

Here in you… It calms, it settles, it breathes

My mind is happy

It daydreams about life and how I want to live it

It gets braver, more courageous, more brilliant

As time goes by… My mind will be invincible

Oh body, Thank you for making my spirit find solace here

My spirit has died so many deaths

Has resurrected and been brought to life

Slashed, whipped and caged to submission

Fighting, growling, exhausted to break free

Here in you… My spirit finds peace

My spirit sleeps, gathers strength, gathers courage

Little by little, the stitches binding the once gangrene laden wounds gently unfurl

Leaving a hard layer, a scab, a shell

A solid shield of protection

As each day passes… My spirit will be invincible

My body, an indestructible fortress

No one can torture

No one can capture

No one can tame

No one can hurt

No one can kill

Oh Body, Thank you for making me invincible.
