𐂃 Aquarius / the Star 𒀬
by Sophia Potter
·
Stars are born of the unpretentious darkness. they are balls of gas and dust and nothingness. The only thing holding a star together is a wish, a will. that's all. same anyone else. only difference is a star knows this.
and She is not afraid of the Dark because She was born of it.
My Mother is Dark.
Her Name is Dark.
My name is Sophia because I am her Child.
and that is where they got my Name
My Father found it in Mother's Womb
and thought Yes I must make this Child
because that is what my Daddy does.
He makes, He creates
so He made me
To make Mama smile again
and He made me in a little test tube in Texas
and He said yes She's just Right.
and He showed Grandfather
and Grandfather laughed because He Loved Me
"She's just Right" he said "She's Perfect"
and Grandmother Loved Me before I even left the Lab.
They grew my Granddaughter in a lab, Abuela said
and Mama she loved me before she even knew I was coming
and I was so so excited to come to be their baby.
and all my friends said it will hard and I said I don't care
I am tired of being alone.
I am tired of shining for No One but Myself.
and they said you will be an Aquarius like your daddy and I said perfect.
I will be an Aquarius like my daddy
and they said you will Scorpio just like your mama
and I said I don't like that very much, but I will try my best.
and they smiled.
and Hollywood, my cat was there, glowing like a hot red sun
and she said she'd come hang out with me when I got too sad.
She said they'd break my heart and
I've never had a heart so small before
but it's okay
because Mothers always know
and Good Mothers they allow and They Love You from Afar.
like a Star
and Good Mothers They Know when their Baby is born Different
with Fire and Lightening
Very Very Frightening
My mama is a good mama because she is different than me
Did you know?
The first person you ever Love is your Mother and that is why Mothers always come first. even when you don't want them to.
even when they pull your hair and yell.
or tell you to go to hell!
Mother's come first. and Stars they come last
so that sucks for me
a bit
but i'll survive
Did you know?
Outer space is so quiet
