Flower by Flower

Saying No
The more I say, “no” Truth may be revealed Of my inner glow Insecurities nil concealed From there, understanding birthed New ways of thinking unearthed Acceptance begins No more sins Against those I love and our inner fires Against ourselves and our true desires Against the clockwork elf Against my divine self
