words:
of the men in my life at one time
my father, my ex, my uncle
one (estranged), left, later died,
one i adored for years but it fell by the wayside
another i loved since i was born, like one must love a father, and vice versa, then he died,
how it goes (i suppose?)
to love is to lose,
and i know that now
& to lose can be to grow
then to love again somehow
i’m learning all the time
goin thru it, growing thru it
figuring out what’s mine
maybe deep down always knew it
come to accept what isn’t yours
(a person never truly is)
on what will you spend your time?
to forge, to grow, to build, to give 🫀
of wanting love without attachment
cos that way seems somehow safe
of learning love in dis-attachment just leaves people in its wake
(and probably isn’t love at all)
of Sunday mornings spent in dark space tho they only spoke of light
of being half Black, half white
half straight, pan, bi
near 6 feet tall, fro 2 feet wide
in darlington, that’s pretty hard to hide
learned by force to accept me
had no choice, just exposure therapy
and my family
and realising that:
within us, there’s so much complexity
the white n black ain’t where it’s always at, just where we choose to hide
but deep within the grey is often where the magic lies
figuring it out
