I Am Woman On The Inside
Don't shame me
I am Woman on the inside
But Man on the outside
I am as straight as an arrow
But gay at heart
I feel every pulse surrounding me
I weep quietly sometimes
Other times I can't contain my floods
I am alive, I feel, I dance, I salsa, I tango with life
Every beat captivates my curious eyes
Magnifies my looking glass
When I hug you in the morning
I'll hug you over again
Morning, noon and night
I feel your sorrows
Before they knock down your door's heart
I laugh at your feet
When I see the hole in your sock
I reek with God's humanity
Freely I give myself to your cross
And the Enlightenment I seek
Caring for our shared lotus
I embrace your Torah and my Koran
I am Women on the inside
But Man on the outside
I free the lioness arising within me
From societies locked gages
I touch, kiss, hug, and hold you tight in public places
I am your lilac, your rose,
Your orange blossom and jasmine perfume
I am Women on the inside
But Man on the outside
I am spring folding to summer in full display
But when your winter's claws like a thief in the night
Tearing the carcasses of our lives
Then swiftly with a hug and a tear
I let you know you center my heart
I am Women on the inside
But Man on the outside
I listen quietly to what you have to say
With two receiving ears and my one listening month
I speak with understanding eyes
Not drowning your song with my tongue
I am Women on the inside
But Man on the outside
With my responsive fingers
I pluck the strings of your delicate harp
But when called upon
With my determined breath
I blow the mighty tuba of fate away
