My Mother & I

My mother hates her body
 We share the same outline
 She swears that she loves mine
 I blur at the edges
 I'm all soft shapes and lines
 Shapeshifting all the time
 The stars have a lot to say
 About babies born in the month of May
 We are down to Earth
 We see eye to eye
 We dig our feet in
 My mother and I
 My mother and I
 They called me an old soul
 When I was too young to know
 The difference between a soul and a ghost
 I feared what was inside
 Trapped in my body kept from the other side
 A spirit searching for her second life
 The stars have a lot to say
 About women born in the month of May
 We want love
 Warm and forever
 We want to die in the presence of our loved ones
 My mother and I
 My mother and I
 All she has given
 All I have taken
 All is forgiven
 All is forsaken
