You are telling me, when you see me, you only see love and light.
What I hear, is that you don't see me. You are not connecting to my whole being.
Because the light you see in me, was born out of immense darkness.
You only want to see the light, because that makes you sleep better at night.
The light you see, is a reflection of the fire that burns inside me.
I am luminous, I know, there is a huge fire sustaining me, keeping me alive.
Come closer so you can feel it, see it.
Come closer so you can feel my shadows.
I need you to see my darkness. I need you to see me as a whole.
You really want to see me, you want to see the real me, get to bask in my shadow.
That is where I lie at night.
That is where my dreams and desires come from.
I need you to acknowledge my bitterness and my contempt. Contempt for you.
I love you, and I loathe you.
Black and white. Multidimensional. Intricate. Complex. Human.
