I BLEED

I bleed shamelessly

I bleed for all the mothers and daughters and sisters out there

I bleed from my womb and heart

I bleed with pride

I bleed with wilderness

And freedom

I bleed with ease

I bleed! 

I bleed so that by blood is seen

I bleed out all those f*cking wounds

That have been f*cked into us

I bleed and f*ck them right back

I bleed in your face

I bleed the f*cking raw naked truth

And I won’t apologize 

Because I have apologized too much

I have apologized through ages

I have apologized for who I am

I have apologized for not being a man

I’ve had enough! 

I speak up! 

I no longer hold back!

No threat, no fear is stopping me anymore

I have become fearless, shameless, uncontrollable

I have walked back to myself

I have walked through all those ages

Through all those programs and conditioning 

Through all those tears, pains and lives taken

Through all those dignities trampled

Through all those bodies abused and souls killed

Oh, I have died so many times… 

But you haven’t killed me

You’ve just made me stronger

And now I am back

The Feminine

The divine 

The Black 

I am no demon, no 

I am no devil 

I am your other side

I am your mother, your daughter, your sister, your bride

I am the force of nature

I am Love

I am a Woman

I am your Heart

And I am bleeding 

I am bleeding with joy and pride 

I am bleeding love and forgiveness

I am bleeding wild

I am bleeding and looking you straight in the eyes

No more will I hide

No more will I fight 

The fighting is done

We both lost 

It is time to win again

To win back the paradise lost

To win it back at any cost

So I bleed

I bleed naked before you 

I bleed the truth 

Just see me, just face it, and hold me, if you can

That’s all you need
