All we’ve ever built
You recall you’ve done alone
Selfish memory
My background’s back there.
And, to my future, hear this:
The present’s what’s mine!
I cannot care, Love
Color Me cruel, and recall
You wished my demise
I counted twelve notes
I thought of honest fingers
I was Endless Love
We’re together now,
Me & Me. A sisterhood.
I celebrate this.
A shapeshifter no
Change for their crazed, changing minds
I can not, will not
Mission accepted
To lead, to love, and to serve
No option, no choice
Here is morningtime!
Tho’ dark and windless, it seems
I find renewed peace!
I’m living here now
A cove I did not create
I’m thriving despite
There’s something so right
in how my pieces remain
intact, claws and all.
************************
All that I need do
now then, is take my own hand
to feel contentment.
