Magickal Tears
These magickal tears
are full of unsaid pain
that can then be transformed
from defiance
against inner shame
when acid rained
down on me
as an innocent, not to blame
I did what I could
to survive
and trauma scars
were the name of the game
and they've been inside me
festering in time
and to squeeze out
the poison
by enough love
to defiantly shine
is prime
amid the shadows haunting me
and the covered windows blocking me
I cry out upon seeing
a light lost in me
to the cold outer breeze
I speak out my truth
without fear of scorn
and I now cry these tears
not embittered
but sweetly born
from affirmation; I survived
feat after feat after feat
yes they magickally declare
the inner care
for the wellness of my dreams
in ways that can still mean
they be carried out, and seen
in truth and in love
though maybe not
in the original ways
I had once dreamed of
but to grieve the old dreams
and to come to accept today's me
and without the embittered
darkness I thought
had swallowed me
as my tear ducts went dry
when they turned to stagnant ice
when I could barely cry
and my hope could no longer fly
but this defiant light
now shines upon my cheeks
as I get up, ready to show you
who I am and want to be
beneath the shame-filled sheet
truth plants a new seed
via what I've come to be
melted is the ice in me
crying these tears, melted free
and under the stars
harmonic, on par
running through my soul like gold
cleansing wounds infected and old
magickal they now can be
these magickal tears
can set me free
