Where can you hope to belong
If parts of your own soul
Have been excised
And exiled
Can any rejection
Betrayal or abandonment
Possibly be, any more complete
Or indeed, any more devastating
In the presence of self-loathing
How then will one
Rise to the call
Of the oppressed
In a clutch moment
Persecution in plain view
Will self-preservation become the mandate
Projected self-hatred concluding - "they probably deserved it.."
At what point does silence
Become apathy and then condoning?
How many sub-optimal circumstances
Become subconscious "approved" resignation?
Illusory fragmented self-imagery
Identifies the myriad
Doorways inviting
A Return to Love
Shouldn't one's own company
Be the safest place imaginable?
Staying might court abandonment
Leaving an act of loving support
Soul alignment
May well call
For love and approval
From a source least willing to give
