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
