With the instincts of  mime,
left breathless every time
i cried for escape.

But fiction begets
‘Til diction forgets,
Best left alone.

Grown up and free
But still trying to be
The rage I engaged with
That made ‘you’ a ‘me’.

Born on the page
Sworn to a sage
Age old as beauty.

There’s a fight in your breast
