On a cloudy day in an era, a decade
With rebellion, big hair, and MTV
I was lifted into the world
By a doctor's caring hands.

Thanks to martyr mother:
Survivor of neglect and hatred
Fighting the system and thoughts within
That burned and scarred her soul.

Ever believing in Divinity
she put God's strenght in my name, always with me
Preceeding a synonym for 'weary'
All not inspired by soap-opera heroines.

She showed me
just how to walk without her hands

Nanny lit the fire of confidence
making my voice louder, and I'm heard

"B" taught me how to fall out of love
without hurting myself too much

And with this new wisdom
I'll teach cadence, rhythm,
poetry in tune - placing intuition
into young minds, young hearts.

For I am poetry in motion:
God's beautiful sweet sonnet
And I am a starlet
longing to hear my songs worldwide.

Evolved from photographs and sheet music
Here because of the famous Ms. Baker
An angel dropped to earth,
only staying because of broken wings.

And I yearn for love and compassion,
just a gentle embrace
And I long for a resolution...
