Oral Poi

Words spoken from a pedestal
Bearing long chains attached to my wrists
Mental fire toys that i spin carelessly
Its just a game, until they strike
My back engulfed.
The fuel i fed them now betrays me
For, the more fuel, the better the show;
The more heart, the better the words.

ROMPE LIMITES
DESTRUYE EL MIEDO
SIGUE TU CORAZON

The singeing hypocrisy spreads to my limbs
The sparks of cowardice fill my vision
The little canary's warning looms in my mind
Watch your words. Fucking hindsight.
Now deformed in her eyes I must choose.
Do I become beautiful again?
Do I strip off melted flesh and
once more become her champion?
Or do I hobble away, taking my shame with me?
The ink says "Love as thou wilt."
But if I stay, her heart, not mine
will dictate the terms.
"I will return as a man," I told her,
"A man wouldn't take the risk."
We will see.
I may be a boy forever
I may become another sheep
Or I can grow into the man I want to be.
First order of business:
Stop lying just to see them smile.
