50 Shades of Masochism

[La****]

I've been thinking a lot about whether, as a submissive, I would call myself a masochist. I don't like to be overwhelmed with ***, but I love impact and I enjoy being pushed to the point where I wonder whether I can take it. I wrote this earlier (see poem below), and my thought was, do I qualify? Or is there a club where only the bruised may enter?

50 shades of masochism. A spectrum

that unfurls all the way from fading pink

to the dark, foreboding hues of black

and purple. It’s a badge of honor,

marks worn with pride. A label

you wear beaten into your skin. But

what if you don’t live at the edge, if

you don’t revel in a ***ted canvas

of welts and bruises and ***ied skin?

What if you like your *** to bloom

then fade. To take your breath away,

then give you a moment to breathe?

A handprint that says mine, enduring

for seconds then becoming a memory?

A cane or a paddle or a tawse or a whip

that makes you cry out, plead, pant and

whimper, but not bleed? Are you out

of the club? Are you not hardcore enough

to say masochist. *** slut. To plead:

hurt me. Humble me. Turn me into

a creature who begs for your mercy.

Is it not enough to want it, to offer

your flesh as a canvas to create art?

Acrylics startle with their vibrant colors

but watercolor offers just as many shades.

And there is beauty in both, I think.
