Untwisted Me

IN HONOR OF SUVIVORS                                                                 

Untwisted Me

Masquerade pain dress as pleasure

Brilliant disguise oh so clever

Hindered my sight in search of love  

Take off the mask

Charmed by pain’s hypnotic gestures

Blindly submit while wounds fester 

Ambushed me with false promises

Naïve to lies 

Addicted to this stick charade 

Sense of what’s real begins to fade

Pain had become the love I seek

I must break free

Sounds inside the depth of my soul 

vibrates to split this awful hold

I see myself in love’s mirror 

Where have I been 

Freedom smells sweet my first inhale

 I allowed  love to rip off the scales

Beautiful pleasure in full view 

Untwisted me
