What She Gave Me
Location
She gave me colours of the rainbow
Yellow, Red, Pink
Blue, Black, Purple
All hidden so no eye can see
She gave me words of the wise
Honour, Pride, Discipline
Shame, Punishment, Pain
Moving me to endless tears
She gave me a sense of touch
Loving, Motherly, Gentle
Rough, Stinging, Hurtful
Numbing me to the bones
She gave me life
Love, Baby, Mother
Birth, Girl, Joy
I am her daughter
She gave me everything
I wish she'd take it all back
