Ode 20

I had no choice in the matter

I just knew

Unlike the butterfly and its chrysalis there was no struggle

I just flew

From my head

On a laser beam to my heart

With no layovers

My mouth tried to get in the way

But I averted that blockade

You understood me despite my words

My chest was riveted to my pride from past hurt

And you became Shadowcat

It didn’t phase you

You just placed a song in my heart

And for that

I choose you
