Gentle Strength
I am surprised to find me here, this body and this mind,
it is so far from what I normally in real life find,
For now I see that I do hold this person in my soul,
Who feels content with what she is, who feels herself one whole.
So proud and yet so humble is a mixture strange to me,
this gentle strength and loving service makes her bound and free,
a study in strange contrasts and a song both low and high,
a dance both new and ages old, a scream and yet a sigh.
She laughs and cries at the same time, she bends and yet she breaks,
She's shocked by all she dares to do, and yet laughs at the stakes.
She holds herself in high regard, yet knows she is a toy,
She's shy but also forward, both mischievous and coy.
She surely takes care of herself, and knows just what she wants,
But also chooses to depend on other's loving hands,
I fear she needs protection, but I think that she knows best,
For she will put all that I know in her way to the test.
Don't be surprised to find me here, this body and this mind,
even if it is so far from what you mostly find.
For I have many different contrasts hiding in my soul,
yet i'm content with what I am, I feel myself one whole.
So proud and yet so humble is no mixture strange to me,
this gentle strength and loving service makes me bound and free,
a study in strange contrasts and a song both low and high,
a dance both new and ages old, a scream and yet a sigh.
I laugh and cry at the same time, I bend and yet I break,
I'm shocked by all I dare to do, and yet laugh at the stakes.
I hold myself in high regard, yet know I am a toy,
I'm shy but also forward, both mischievious and coy.
I surely take care of myself, and know just what I want,
but I choose also to depend upon another's hand,
to punish and to love me, and I know that I know best,
for I will put all that I know in my way to the test.
