Mantis - Celestial Madonna
Let me introduce myself
The Marvel-ous Mantis - Celestial Madonna.
And what sort of person is she? You may ask.
Hopefully one you will honour.
But let her share a secret.
It helps her to think and act deeply.
I speak to myself in third person
It helps her navigate my world and relations you see.
When you read about me
I'm a confident, assertive martial artist.
My greatest power is empathy
My psychic abilities are the smartest.
Mantis even communicates with plants
And I can manipulate through telepathy.
But she wants to clarify that she only
Employs for the greater good such super capability.
But what I fail to understand
Is why there's a change
In how I'm perceived
When I'm on film. It is strange!
It's as though this Madonna
Loses her assertion, becomes naive
Added to this, socially awkward!
Who would believe?
Yet a leaven like confidence
Starts gradually developing.
Though she knows it exists within her
Her silent screams for it keep beckoning!
All the same, my heroinship
Remains a constant, ever true.
I am caring, empathetic and loyal.
The very qualities that matter to you.
A sudden revelation to her own conundrum...
Her difference read and filmed, she offers why.
Could it be that Mantis, Madonna, yes I
Am simply a little camera shy?
