HATCHED

A light grew in my chest and slowly

ate away at my cold exterior.

My vampire skin cracked for weeks,

secreting strange liquids

from my broken crevices ..

I dripped them all around town,

all on my friends,

all naked with you in bed

and turned you off.

Shattered open,

I’m here-

hatched,

making new promises to myself.

My feelings walk bare-naked in public,

dancing alone in a crowd

to a sexy techno song.

Proud.

I hang up my innocent,

good girl hats-

the ones with the polka dots and hearts

and trade them in for outlandish,

badass, purple hair extensions.

Today I’m flying with all my strength,

intelligence,

self-healing powers,

and free loving nature,

like a precious bird

with diamond encrusted wings

and golden feathers.

Reckless
