really real

i have been thinking about sincerity lately.

trying to hold them next to each other and see how similar now and ago really are.

what if i would have been honest with myself
sooner.

what if my love could be sincere, with that honesty a child gains by being born 
and forgets about 
each day following day 
that teaches him fear and greed and practicality.

like when i was small 
asleep in my parents bed
because of the spider or the dream in my room.

let love be without hypocrisy
like a Man weeping
calling Himself a hen
longing to gather His chicks

calling Himself a Dad
because of the spider or the dream in my room.
