SONNET FROM A DREAM
I remember the day I felt different,
My mouth was too sharp,my spine too weak,
My dreams consumed me and would not relent,
My dreams got in the way of turning the other cheek.
I tried to throw my feelings to the moon,
I was taught that a silent girl is a beautiful girl,
I spoon fed my soul to every wide eyed goon,
I shined myself up like a moonlit pearl.
When you lit my truth on fire with your deceit,
I snagged your heart,I made it mine,
I wanted to know what led you to defeat,
You made me forget that my difference was divine.
Then,my dreams consumed your every trick,
So I spun and spun and spun into my own magic.
