Pure - Secret Shame

Skeletal being filled with light

I know you’re trying to hide it

When bones crack

For metamorphosis

Replace the fixtures

You’re beautiful

Ugly

Everything impure

To my future face

Take care to try and be careful

Take care of the animal

Who’s lost sight of herself

When flowers grow

Flowers grow out from your spine

Grow them longer

You’re beautiful

Wonderful

Everything pure

Take me

Take me instead

And I will find your way

Paved through sickness in waves

Don’t

Don’t trust in medicine

Always you’ll remember

I’ve seen you try harder

With things that you care less for

What’s the use in fighting it?

I know you’re trying to hide it

And when beings prod

And pry open your mind

To the fixers

They’ll fix you up proper

They’ll make you pure

Don’t come back to me

In times of hardness

When you’ve crumbled the earth

And shattered its inhabitants

And when the rubble clears

And you crawl out from the dust

I’ll still fix you

Beauty, imperfect

You’re everything pure
