*To butter oneself with patience: Norwegian expression for taking a stance of patience.


Disclose

I wanted you to see everything
every part of me
but began with the raw emotions and raw thought
and never got on to my other voices

I wanted you to see everything
every voice inside me
but not all my voices speak through words
and words are all you see now

I wanted you to see everything
but everything doesn't matter yet
doesn't make sense yet

I want to live it
and give to them my best

rather than reduce whatever it is I am (or am not)
to pieces and conclusions and thought-streams and bite-size statements

look into my eyes
let me take your hand

I'll show you why and what I love
who and why I love

for this

I must butter myself with patience*
