Redemption
Thrown off track
Now put me all back
Put my skin back on my body
My nose upon my face
My legs on hips
Tell me they were all okay
My passion was no threat to class
I was born in the fire
Tell me my strength only made you stronger
I was always a woman
My fine bones reminded you
of how easily I slip between your fingertips
Tell the truth
Everything that I was beautiful in spite of
was your campaign
You couldn't handle the flame
Tell me I will never need the sorries
of an already sorry man
