I am too wind, salt water not from the sea Wild intense uncontained A lover says to me' we could never date, I would always be second best to your fantasies" He expects this to bruise but I hold this to my heart like the sweetest compliment I have always wanted to be too much for someone My mother says her premature grey hair is because of me, I look down thoughtfully but I rejoice inside She did not want fire from her womb A tan porcelain doll with long hair to comb filled her dreams during pregnancy Did her heart burn and my violent kicks not give me away? I am not broken, I am not a fledgling thrown from the nest I have not given up on myself I will not be fixed, held taunt by ropes I do not hold myself I am special Clouds that cover the sun I will move so much water Drink the seas Scale the sky Just watch Watch me fly
