I am there in front of everyone
the room dark, except for the flames
of the fire mesmerizing me
as I try to push through the fear
and will myself to step forward
towards Him
I am there of my own choice
Every step I have made deliberately,
with careful thought
I sought this out, to surrender
to put myself in the hands of the Masters
I'm stripped bare
completely exposed
my body, my reactions, my feelings
every shield I have I have removed
my clothes, my words, my will
there is no place to hide
I am not brave
I offer no resistance
I break down quickly
under the whip
I obey meekly
dissolving into tears
As I'm given to the Masters
overwhelmed, in a blur
unlike anything I have
experienced before
there is a moment when I think its more
than I can bear
where I am ready to scream for them to stop
but I don't
because I chose this.. to see
what I was capable of
what would happen
when I walked through the door
that I've always been afraid to open
So in this room dark, except for the flames
I surrender to all
