It is time to be seen
You are that faceted jewel with light dancing and colliding with its edges in an explosion of light
It is time to be seen
In dark rooms where the light does not enter
Down long corridors of people
In conversations that request your wild minds contribution
In praying for your hearts desire
It is time to be seen
In the way you dress that will not be homogenised
In the ways you express with expletives of love and
take no prisoner truth
It is time to be seen
It is time to be seen
Invisibility is a dead strategy
Invisibility betrays you
Invisibility cages you
Invisibility has doors smash
With rage and pain that put the boot in
Invisibility has them walk straight past you
Invisibility hangs out someone else flag on your door
It is time to be seen
it is time to be seen
It is time to be seen
Under sheets with torches
Under sheets with legs spread
Under sheets of paper with pen writing frantically before the words evaporate and once more are unseen
It is time to be seen
With guts flung out
With half stories told
With blood and eggs still viable
With the ways you move the air around you and the space within
It is time to be seen
YOU WERE NEVER TOO MUCH
