Remind me

Remind Me

After a very long time of longing

Depriving my soul of every fruit planted by the creator on this earth 

I finally decided to undress myself 

I wanted to strip off every cloth I had entangled myself with 

I wanted to feel what my peers felt

What my equals called life 

I thought I was ready to fill the void in me 

To walk miles with no food 

To open my eyes with no shame 

And to allow my hands touch what I had never touched 

This time I was fully in 

I wanted to be known 

To be recognized 

So I let myself walk around naked

I allowed everyone see the most significant parts of me 

I wanted them to be in charge of what I knew was mine 

I swiftly handed over my being 

With no hesitation and doubt 

Hoping for approval and fixation

From then I wasn't in control

My soul was theirs to trample 

They had every right to disturb the functionality of my inner being

And everytime I screamed for help 

A part of me got torn

And everytime I reached out for a hand 

Humiliation was born

So next time I decide to unveil myself 

To see myself through  their mirrors 

To seek my embodiment in society 

Remind me of their purpose 

Which defies God's nature 

Remind me
