I shattered the glass
Like I was still in class
And I can’t get a job and I can’t get a wife
I can’t settle for an ordinary life
I must drive myself into forward motion
Like a jet stream in the sky of a love potion
That I drink like polyjuice 
And break into the ministry to find out the truth 
But they’re all just sitting round
Typing like bees that make a certain sound 
And I know there’s a great evil on the horizon
I can feel it when I keep my eyes on
What is coming down the line
And you can say that it will just be fine
But there are children dying every day
And ones left behind to find their own way
In the world
And it’s no worse to be born a girl 
Because the men are slaughtered like dogs
Thrown into a fire like burning logs 
And it maybe hyperbole to remark 
That somethings are better in the dark 
But you should see that sun shine 
It doesn’t last an instant until it’s mine 
As I focus on what I want to create 
I want to see an end of hate
And I must rise my vibe
While I am still alive 
Amid the jars and barbs they throw my way
Because I will never be what they say
I should become
They told me when I was young 
I should become a doctor or vet
But I haven’t operated on anyone yet
I just let the healing flow
Like reiki to let go
Of the negativity held 
I watched my grandfather weld 
Two metal pieces together 
I watched the change in the weather 
And the slipping of seasons unto obliviate
It’s in what the people do not state
As they stand in line 
At a wake to make the words rhyme
For the people choked on silent voice
Like death could ever be a choice
It is just a movement to depart
And I am all heart 
But I think it’s done breaking
And there’s nothing that I’m forsaking 
To grow into the shoes I walk 
I never could do small talk 
But do I have to open the conversation at the end 
And once I had a friend
Who could match up the lines
Of the knot that untwines 
Until it’s a blue length of string 
She held my hand and everything 
When I was feeling sad and blue 
And it was the measure of you 
To grow into those shoes
A hard act to follow but I try to
