a poem

i'm confused
is your yes, 'yes' and your no, 'no'?
laid bare
black and red with sin and shame
hope seizes like a cold win
in moments, overwhelmed
in others, indifferent
afraid of a lack of change--stagnant
afraid to trip again on the same rocks
walls are set so i can't be led there
barriers built to protect from the ultimate
love and denial
beauty and vanity
greatness and suffering
performing and hiding
paradoxical, i know
mind and heart. . . why do you war?
body and spirit. . . be united!  
confused, so so confused
