Arabiyah #7

To feel this way is a dangerous, dangerous thing.

There’s a gnawing, crippling, agonizing yearning inside me.  

I assumed it was the jinn or the devil at one point:  A muse whispering terrible truths.

Silly.

The yearning turned out to be a human need: A yearning for freedom.

A newfound human discovery.

My mind is not cruel to me anymore. My mind is kind.

My mind tells me that I am just as human as him. We’re Flesh, blood, and bone.

And so we’re equals.

My mind tells me that I am not the lesser, the inferior, or the smaller.


This frightens him. It’s a dangerous, dangerous thing.
