I am my father's daughter the apple of his eye that didn't fall too far from his tree the fruit of the same loom that I use to weave my web of lies always shady like I'm perpetually standing under those branches
I am my mother's daughter her second cracked egg that should have grown into a dove but came out a vulture instead didn't need a nudge to leave the nest I was first to fly the coop a free bird while the others flew straight into a cage
Now the tree went up in flames and took the nest with it and I'm starting to think that maybe I was a Phoenix all along and from the ashes comes the new soil that I need to grow.
