my song



Relentless tainted whispers
I heard and absorbed
because you held the authority.
Mishandled with blackened fingertips.
I don't agree. I never did.
Bare skinned and shredded knees
reveal a truth,
but, sadly, only to me.
I rewrite the notes and sing a new song.
My song, carrying full sails,
salt spray in my face and loft in my dreams.
