Benediction

I am not here to be owned
To be trained, put in a cage.
To be domesticated,
Exhibited on a stage.

I won’t bend my will to yours
I will never be a slave
No matter if I want it
I will resist what I crave

You’ll only have a moment
And only if you take it
Do not you dare fucking ask
Me to willingly submit

I am not a wild mare
For you to capture and claim
Reigning and hard whipping me
Will not ever make me tame

I am not a wolf puppy
Looking for an alpha bitch
I don’t need your protection
Tender care won’t scratch my itch

I need to fight savagely
To make sweet pulp of your mind
To rend the flesh and soul
And be ravaged back in kind

I need to be exhausted
Overpowered, overcome
Both in body and spirit
Until I am fully numb.

I need brutal words of truth
Speak cruel honesty to me
Look into my broken heart
Tell me of each flaw you see

Give me your benediction
Bless me for my failures please
Mete out your just punishment
With confidence and with ease

Harden your heart against me
Do not falter when I cry
Continue ministration
Till my saliva is dry

Accept my condemnation
I’ll be your dark mirror of shame
Reflecting your sorrows back
The price paid for what you claim

Until at last we are both spent
We will collapse and cuddle
Melding our flesh together
Into one soft, warm, puddle

At least for this sweet moment
All the rage and grief has gone
In this small peace we have won
A joyful reprieve will dawn
