FIREWORKS SWAN
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Held captive by Seth
I sat quietly and agreed politely
You never treated me commensurately
I forget I had a choice
Too scared to find my fire-voice
I let you push me down
I wore my masquerade gown
You pushed me past breaking point
My Disney-words were disjointed
I ate your chocolate sneers
You covered me with your goose-guilt fears
I saw out of my hermit-window my winking legs
Fastened your infatuation with steel pegs
I went from zero to my own hero
My champion-roar will shatter the universe foundation from
now on
I’m now a fireworks-swan
