Two people were given the simplest task
Love me and Keep me was all that I asked
As a Gift to them I was given
My body and Spirit were delivered from Heaven
Small and tender is how I came
But every part of me they taught me to shame
I knew nothing of protection or of love
They did not remind me of my Father above
The sound of my voice would cry for you to stop
But that did not matter to You and Pop
Closeness was something I did not feel
Instead I felt imprisoned against my will
Secrets I lived in and have kept to this day
How much is too much of a price to pay
This child is saying you may Shatter n Break me
But a rising Phoenix is what this will make me
