I chose you as a child
But as I grew into a woman,
I rebelled
My mother taught me
How to stir the pot
How to cut with words
How to turn it off
Sometimes it takes losing
To win perspective
Sometimes it takes losing
To discover your powers
My love has been elusive
Wearing an invisibility cloak
But please don't ever believe my heat
My vulture screech
My desperatation dance
Because it always echoes back
It always chooses you
A child at heart
A lemon meringue pie
Awkward and love struck
Camera anchored at the neck
Chasing you
With no luck
