    A Body...

     I am not
    A Body.
    Yes, my body is what
    is recognized,
    My voice,
    My hair,
    My eyes.
    They hear and see
    And know its
    Me...
    But that is not who I am.

    Strip away
    My skin,
    Muscle,
    Bone...
    And find the
    Heart of me.
    The things that truly
    Define
    Who I Am.

    Poetry,
    Pictures,
    The things of Beauty...
    The slashes,
    Dark artwork,
    Pains of Reality.
    And my soul,
    My half
    That wants to be whole...

    And become
    Something more than
    A Body...
