There is a black pool at the core of my being 
When it’s light it’s just a reflection you’re seeing 
Of the moon in the water 
And I have been a “good” daughter 
Always abiding by the rule
Getting grades to fly by in school 
But I have grown up and in 
And I found myself in him 
When he set me free from the stricture 
And it was a mighty picture 
When he showed me his own shade of blue
And I wanted to be one with you 
As you just were yourself 
And my mental health 
Is not up for debate
But I’ve learned there’s something beyond the hate
You can even hold for yourself 
There is a wealth 
In verdant green
And it’s the best thing I’ve ever seen
