I Confess I Am Love

I confess that I have never been entirely trustworthy
because I have not been totally truthful about who I am.
I have ducked, fudged, pretended and defended.
I have been afraid and ashamed, projected and rejected,
I have sought outside for that which I am.

I confess that I am love and have always been in spite of veils I wrapped myself in

I confess I have betrayed myself in the name of belonging
and then betrayed every group, relationship that I belonged to,
if it prevented me from loving and belonging to all others.
Chameleon-like I have blended into every environment, hiding, waiting, gathering strength.
I have sought outside for that which I am.
This is the freeing of love and the loving of freedom.

I confess that I am love and have always been...
I am love, I am love

I am not an activist or pacifist, a conservationist or a hedonist.
I am love
I am not straight, gay, bisexual or transgender.
I am neither monogamous, polyamorous, promiscuous or celibate.
I am love

I am not conservative or liberal, green, blue or teal.
I am not muslim, buddhist, christian or jew.
I have sought outside for that which I am.
This is the freeing of love and the loving of freedom.

I confess that I am love and have always been, in spite of veils I wrapped myself in.
I confess that I am love and have always been
in spite of the veils I wrapped myself in.
