You took me from my comfort zone, my cover blown, knocked off my throne,
Stripped to the bone, but not alone, I’m going to a new home

I’m ready to commit, I’m taking on religion
I’m bathing in the inky pool, a red and purple rhythm
It covers me in mystery, it covers me in grace
It’s welling up inside of me, I’m in a holy space
You guide me through the ritual, your sympathy’s instinctual
I’m beautiful and dutiful, the pool is like a crucible
A purifying waterfall, I’ve heard the call, I’m in its thrall
I’m in it for the long haul, I’m through the wall and standing tall 

Accepting all my frailties and lack of understanding
You touch me tenderly, you make me feel it’s less demanding
I see an orange aura glow, a rainbow show, it’s time to go
Back into indigo and let go of the world I used to know
Wash away bad attitude, try to find beatitude
Come out a new dude, nude and proud, hungering for soul food

Another poem inspired by a picture by Carmella Dolmer, in this case the result of a challenge to go outside my comfort zone and write a rap. I have recorded it with a beat accompaniment but my voice sounds very inappropriate.
