I am

Jet Rood

Underneath my skin
there lays the truth
of who I really am
without my make up

my mask I can take off
pretending has no need
when I long for my creator
who sees right through me

I am glad he is the one
who listens when I speak
even when it makes no sense
he does not judge me

day by day I make a step
to grow to my real me
I flooded for a while
now I can show vulnerability

there is nothing more beautiful
something to be grateful for
to share this with another person
to see that is human too

Writing is a need like eating and sleeping. I think we are all wondrous creatures who deserve to love ourselves and live in freedom. I like to participate in cases which can make a difference for myself, my surroundings and the earth. My wish: humanity in a non-dualistic society. more…
