I was born in 1974    On a calm, meticulous street    Some place in the sun    Oh, the air was sweet    And enough lights sprang sparks    Through the window of the room    Not as raw to a ridiculous tune    Slightly out-of-key in the mother hour.      So leave me alone    So leave me alone    So leave me alone    I'm busy breaking bones.      I was born in 1974    In a breached feet-first way    My twin opened the door    My very first dose of chivalry    I was dawned princess potential potent    With gold star and matching impression    Big between two doors    Small and loved and proud and unthreatened.      So leave me alone    So leave me alone    So leave me alone    I'm busy breaking bones.      I bet you were strong    When you should have been weak    Like a dam that wanted to break    I wish I were the stones    Your river learned to roam    In whispering gaze.      You were told in a kind North Carolinian way    To slow down, back up, or be hated    Thank God you did not    And thank God you did    An angel either way.      So leave us alone    So leave us alone    So leave us alone    We're busy being grown.      November 5, 8:17 PM    Scorpio and a gem.      June 1st, 9:39 AM    Gemini and a lullaby.
