Little cat
Huddles close
For warmth
From her sisters
It can be tough
In a world
Full of hate
Disguised
Masquerading
Street parading
People try
To put her down
But in her heart
And with her sisters
She too
Can soar
Rise above
The sick chaotic
Frenetic
Hectic lies
That seem to drive
The world awry
It’s enough
To make her cry
Many nights
O’r many moons
Yet each day
The sun rises
And she will find
Her way to Be
Free
Amazing
Beautiful She
Not the stuff
We see on TV
Packaged
In back-breaking stilts
For who
For what
Our body’s no model
Or pawn
In a sad
sick
fantasy
Little cat
Little girl
Little sister
Little me
Don’t worry
We’ll find
A way
To re-paint
Re-write
Re-plant
Re-color
The world
Just as Love
Mother promised
Gifts
Passed on from She
