My desire to be myself doesn't make me separate.
And although sometimes I feel alone misunderstandings guide me home to a new light upon an old idea.
Every day, a chance to develop in the dark room
where photons wake to red hues. 
upside down, and negative. 
My heart too, the likes of the chamber.
The Exposé of me.
Both dark and of light for one needs the other to make it a dance
A summer shower 
Needs a cold winter day 
To show you what’s up 
And to show you what’s down
To appreciate both
Is to unhinge the crown
merciless ruler or virtueless views
dethrone the altar that splits you in twos.   
My desire to express myself does not make me separate.
Wanting for you what I want from me.
because I am you and you are we 
One plus one 
is one.
and don't forget to carry me.
